Donia Jarrar
Librettist
Biography
Donia Jarrar is an Arab and Muslim-American composer, pianist and interdisciplinary artist. Her music spans the genres of classical, electronic, experimental and pop, with improvisation as a key element of her performance practice.  Born to a Palestinian father and an Egyptian-Greek mother, who grew up between Kuwait, Egypt, the West Bank, and the United States, her personal experiences have strongly shaped her compositional voice, leading her to explore themes of intergenerational memory and trauma, identity, exile, displacement, and cultural narratives in her work. She received her Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Musical Arts degrees in composition from the University of Michigan. Jarrar is the first Palestinian woman to earn a doctorate degree in music.
