“AGÓCS’S MUSIC HAS A LIQUID CLARITY THAT BURBLES DOWN VARIOUS STYLISTIC TRIBUTARIES, FLASHING PAST FRENCH SALONS, OLD STONE CHURCHES, AND REVERANT DAWNS WITHOUT EVER LOSING ITS WAY.”
- NEW YORK MAGAZINE

 


Hailed as “a composer of imposing artistic gifts” (Gramophone Magazine) and “one of the brightest stars in her generation of composers” (Audiophile Audition), Kati Agócs (KAH-tee AH-goach) creates “sublime music of fluidity and austere beauty” (The Boston Globe). Reflecting a multicultural upbringing and her own experience as a vocalist, Kati’s music gives new expression to both folk melodies and sacred rituals––and distills diverse traditions into her own unique voice that “demands to be heard” (The New York Times). A recent Guggenheim Fellow, she is also a winner of the prestigious Arts and Letters Award, the lifetime achievement award in music composition from The American Academy of Arts and Letters. Recordings of her music have been recognized with the 2022 GRAMMY® Award, as well as two nominations for Classical Composition of the Year in the Canadian Juno Awards.
