About Me
Raised in Canada, Agatha began her musical interests at the age of five by studying piano at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Ontario. Since then, she developed her skills through several piano schools until deciding that composition was her true ambition. In 2005, she commenced her undergraduate studies at Wilfrid Laurier University in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. She studied under Canadian composers Peter Hatch, Linda Catlin Smith, and Glenn Buhr.
Recently, her music (both concert and film) have been performed and presented at the Studio of Visual Arts (SVA) Theatre, (le) Poisson Rouge, Merkin Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. Her arrangements of classical and popular music (ranging from duet to full orchestra) have been performed in the United States and Spain.
Agatha received her Masters in Film Scoring and Composition at New York University and studied privately with film composer Mark Suozzo. She was awarded the Billy Joel Scholarship for the 2010-2011 academic year. In 2011, she took part in the ASCAP/Columbia Film Scoring Workshop (instructed by Alex Steyermark). The year ended with her receiving the David Rose Scholarship as part of the ASCAP Foundation.
