REBEKAH DRISCOLL grew up in Lebanon, New Hampshire and has lived in the New York City region since 1998. She studied flute, voice, and composition at Sarah Lawrence College and composition at Brooklyn College Conservatory (City University of New York). Her music has been performed by ensembles such as Aviva Players, Bel Canto Chamber Singers, Cantori New York, Choral Chameleon, Cygnus Ensemble, Erie Saxophone Quartet, Grupo Novo da UniRio (Brazil), Manhattan Wind Ensemble, Opus 5 Woodwind Quintet (Colorado), VocalEssence, and Vox Novus. Her composition teachers include Chester Biscardi, Jason Eckardt, and Tania León.

Rebekah enjoys composing for unusual combinations of instruments and voices, exploring the connections between language and music. She often writes her own texts or creates texts from diverse sources, such as using excerpts from six different plays by Shakespeare to illustrate themes of darkness in The Mask of Night. Her mobile-form Driscoll Alphabet for chorus, a winner of the 2009 Essentially Choral competition, allows singers to spell out words of their choice with music, creating pieces that uniquely suit the performers’ tastes and abilities. Rebekah also studies various foreign languages and sings with choruses throughout the New York City area.
