Brittany J. Green (b. 1991) is a North Carolina-based composer, performer, and educator. Described as »a creative force of attention-seizing versatility« (The Washington Post) and »cinematic in the best sense« (Chicago Classical Review), Brittany’s music works to facilitate collaborative, intimate musical spaces that ignite visceral responses. The intersections between sound, video, movement, and text serves as the focal point of these musical spaces, often questioning and redefining the relationships between these three elements.

Brittany’s music has been featured at concerts and festivals worldwide including Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s MusicNOW, New York City Electronic Music Festival, the American Piano Awards, and performances at Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood, and Miller Theater. Her collaborators include Rebekah Heller, Alarm Will Sound, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and JACK Quartet. Brittany has held residencies with the Louisville Orchestra, Copland House, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts.

The composer also pursues musical research. She explores the work of Julius Eastman through the lenses of music theory, critical theory, and queer theory to situate his output in a lineage of Black experimentalism and as a site of radical imagination and resistance. Additional research interests include investigating sound as a site of strategic opacity in the Black Church and engaging MaxMSP as a tool for developing creativity and design principles in Music Education.

Brittany is a member of The Recording Academy, and Society of Composers, Inc., and holds awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Charles Ives Scholarship), ASCAP Foundation (Morton Gould Award), New Music USA (Creator Development Grant), and Alarm Will Sound (Matt Marks Impact Fund). Brittany holds degrees from UNC-Pembroke (BM Music Education), East Carolina University (MM Composition and Theory), and Duke University (AM Music Composition; Ph.D Music Composition).

She is a Beethovenfest Fellow 2026.
