Caroline Shaw: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Caroline Shaw

Caroline Shaw is a composer and performer whose work moves between contemporary classical writing and the vocabulary of rock and pop. In New York City, her music appears on programs such as Groupmuse NYC, where it sits alongside Brahms, Granados, and Bartók in chamber settings. She is frequently heard through collaborations with players including Nathan Meltzer, Gabrielle Després, Laura Liu, Leland Ko, and Min Young Kang. Her writing favors clean lines and close listening, keeping the surface direct while the structure does the work.
