Composer Deena T. Grossman’s music mirrors the rhythms, patterns, and fluidity of nature highlighting a universal interconnectedness and the importance of environmental stewardship. “Brilliant, haunting and beautiful... her music will continue to connect us with our space and time.” (Oregon ArtsWatch)

Grossman’s discography encompasses three highly acclaimed portrait albums: the “fantastic... [and] transportive” (Oregon ArtsWatch) Thrice Burned Forest; Becoming Durga, “an expansive sonic landscape of natural and spiritual realms masterfully crafted through a variety of cultural lenses” (SE Examiner); and Wildfires and Waterways, a “stunning album... You may never look at a river again without hearing music, this music” (National Flute Association Quarterly).

Grossman has worked closely with some of classical music’s most forward-thinking and influential figures of the 20th century including Lou Harrison and Thea Musgrave. With formative studies at the University of California Santa Barbara and The Center for World Music, she received a Master of Music degree from Rice University, Shepherd School of Music. A resident of Portland, Oregon, Grossman writes “environmental music [that] poignantly expresses the mission and values of Columbia Riverkeeper, where she is composer-in-residence.” (Oregon ArtsWatch)
