Alexandra du Bois Biography

Alexandra du Bois is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on August 16, 1981 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States.

Alexandra du Bois (/d uː ˈ b w ɑː / ; born August 16, 1981) is an American composer, violinist and educator who has received international critical acclaim for her chamber, orchestral and vocal compositions. She currently lives in Manhattan in New York City.

Du Bois’ third string quartet, Night Songs (Nachtliederen), also commissioned by Kronos Quartet, was composed from inspiration received from the letters and diaries of Holocaust victim Etty Hillesum. As explained by NewMusicBox.com, “The music born of this was starkly touching, conveying the complexity of individual human darkness rather than the epic turmoil of nations in a time of genocide.” Du Bois stated of the nature and title of the same composition: “Night can represent the darkness of that time, of humanity, but it also represents the unconscious. Etty Hillesum was always uplifting—she was almost always singing a song. She had an incredible sense of inner light.” In 2004, du Bois received a grant from The Netherland-America Foundation and traveled throughout the Netherlands and Poland to retrace Hillesum’s footsteps in preparation for writing the quartet. Kronos Quartet presented the New York premiere of du Bois’ third string quartet alongside the world premiere of Henryk Gorecki’s third string quartet (“…songs are sung”) at Carnegie Hall on March 24, 2005.
