Anne H. Goldberg-Baldwin blurs the definitions of music and dance as a composer, choreographer, performer, and educator, a vanguard of interdisciplinary performance art.  She is co-Founder and Artistic Director the Tempus Continuum Ensemble, a new music ensemble premiering and performing both her own music and that of other 20th and 21st Century composers.  Touring coast to coast and internationally, Anne’s music has been premiered and performed by ensemble mise-en, the Boston New Music Institute, the Novatrio, NeoLit Ensemble, and at festivals such as the International Ferienkurse für Neue Musik Darmstadt and the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice at New England Conservatory. Her work has been featured in New York venues such as Symphony Space, the Kitchen, the Flea Theater, and many others nationally and internationally. In addition to Tempus, Anne is Founder and Artistic Director of dance and multimedia company, the Synthesis Aesthetics Project. Through the project, Anne has produced, composed, choreographed and directed a variety of productions, as Emerging-Artist-in-Residence at The Field. 

Anne is a freelance performer and educator in the Boston and New York areas on a multitude of projects ranging from recording sessions to live events.  She actively commissions, records, and premieres works for English horn, oboe, and piano solo, as well as holds an annual call-for-scores with her collaborators at the Tempus Continuum Ensemble.  She has premiered numerous composers’ pieces, including the works of Georges Aperghis, Kevin Baldwin, and others.  An avid improviser, she champions graphic and indeterminate music equally alongside explicit notational styles, performing as a soloist from Avery Fisher Hall, to Cornelia Street Café, to Europe and beyond. 

 

Anne’s fascination with notation and performance art led her to her research examining the composer-performer dichotomy from a semiological standpoint.  She embarked on her study in semiology of the composer-performer, the study of signs and symbols, to decipher the various stages of conception, interpretation, and reflection of pieces. Anne received her B.A. Wellesley College with extensive course work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her M.M. of Classical Composition at the Manhattan School of Music under Dr. Marjorie Merryman, and her D.M.A. under Dr. Reiko Füting. She has served as faculty at Manhattan School of Music and Cornish College of the Arts, and is currently Assistant Professor of Composition at Berklee College of Music.
