Alice Humphries

Alice Humphries’s music defies description. The best kind of creative magpie, her acute intellect and endless curiosity see her weave threads of jazz, classical, folk and electroacoustic sounds into an astonishing artistic tapestry. Alice’s new work was written for Christopher Moore and Caroline Almonte, to be premiered at their Melbourne Morning Masters concert on 16 November 2021.

Alice Humphries is a highly versatile composer working across and in between the contemporary classical, jazz and experimental worlds. Her music has been described as ‘bursting with life and fun, as well as great, great beauty’ and ‘deeply thought-provoking... offering both moments of incredible intensity and sublime serenity.’ Her output includes electro-acoustic, chamber, and orchestral music, as well as music for dance, documentary and film. She seeks to create evocative and engaging sound worlds that take inspiration from natural phenomena, and intersections between humanity and nature.
