Born in Rome in 1983, Clara Iannotta is particularly interested in music as an existential, physical experience – music should be seen as well as heard. This is one of the reasons why she sometimes prefers to talk about the
choreography of the sound rather than about orchestration. Iannotta has studied at the Conservatories of Milan and Paris, at IRCAM, and at Harvard
University with Alessandro Solbiati, Frédéric Durieux, and Chaya Czernowin.
Her music is commissioned and performed by renowned ensembles,
soloists, and orchestras, including Quatuor Diotima, Ensemble intercontem
-
porain, JACK Quartet, Klangforum Wien, Neue Vocalsolisten, Münchener
Kammerorchester, Ensemble Nikel, WDR Orchestra and the Bavarian Radio
Symphony Orchestra.
Iannotta has been a fellow of the Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD
in 2013, Villa Médicis (Académie de France à Rome) in 2018–19, and the
recipient of several prizes including the Hindemith-Preis 2018, Una Vita
nella Musica Giovani 2019, Bestenliste 2/2016 and 4/2020 of the Deutsche
Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics’ Award) for her portrait albums
A Failed Entertainment, and Earthing. She was awarded the Composers’ Prize
of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation in 2018.
Since 2014, Iannotta has been the artistic director of the Bludenzer
Tage zeitgemäßer Musik. Her music is published by Edition Peters.
She lives and works in Berlin.
