Early life and education

Lanzilotti grew up in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. She began her violin studies with Hiroko Primrose, renowned pedagogue and protégé of Shinichi Suzuki. In addition to western classical music, Lanzilotti studied Hawaiian language, culture, and dance at Hālau Hula O Maiki. Lanzilotti attended Punahou School and Beijing Normal University Middle School No. 2 (School Year Abroad), and then continued her education at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, Yale School of Music, and Manhattan School of Music.[2] She was a fellowship violist in both the New World Symphony[3] and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.

Professional life

Lanzilotti is known as a performer for her collaborations with living composers such as Dai Fujikura,[4] Ted Hearne,[5] Andrew Norman,[6] Caroline Shaw,[7] Anna Thorvaldsdottir,[8] Jagoda Szmytka, Scott Wollschleger,[9] and Nina C. Young.[10] Lanzilotti created Shaken Not Stuttered as an extension of these collaborations. In addition to her work as a soloist, she has performed as a guest with Alarm Will Sound, Ensemble Éschappé, Ensemble Interface, Ensemble Signal, International Contemporary Ensemble, and with bands such as DeVotchKa, and She & Him.[11] Lanzilotti performed in the Björk Vulnicura Live tour in New York City, and appears on the album of the same name.

Lanzilotti is also co-founder and artistic consultant for Kalikolehua – El Sistema Hawaiʻi.[12] She was previously on the faculty at New York University, University of Northern Colorado, Casalmaggiore International Music Festival,[13] Point CounterPoint[14] and Wintergreen Performing Arts.[15]

As an Andrew Norman scholar, Lanzilotti has written for Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, London Symphony Orchestra,[16] and has spoken at conferences internationally[17] on Norman's use of architecture and visual art as musical inspiration. Her doctoral dissertation is also on the topic of music and architecture in Norman's string trio, The Companion Guide to Rome.[18]

In her role as Curator of Music at EMPAC, she has invited artists such as Maria Chavez[19], Lesley Flanigan[20], Heartbeat Opera[21], Sarah Hennies[22], and Ken Ueno[23]. At EMPAC, she is one of the center's three curators, alongside Vic Brooks, senior curator of time-based visual art, and Ashley Ferro-Murray, curator of theater and dance.[24]

Music

Lanzilotti's compositions are characterized by the frequent use of field recordings and extended techniques for strings. Lanzilotti creates soundscapes that invite the audience to engage with sound and listen carefully to the subtleties of resonance. She was the winner of the first Periapsis Emerging Artist Residency,[25] and has been commissioned by The Noguchi Museum several times to write musical works.[26] Lanzilotti was a guest composer at Thailand International Composers Festival in 2018. [Switch~ Ensemble] received a MAP Fund grant[27] for the development and performance of her new work hānau ka ua.

Her album in manus tuas (New Focus Recordings, 2019), was featured in Bandcamp's The Best Contemporary Classical Albums of 2019[28] and The Boston Globe Top 10 Classical Albums of 2019.[29] Other albums including Lanzilotti's music are her debut EP Wanderweg and experimental LP The Akari Sessions.
