Ihlara McIndoe is a NYC-based composer from Aotearoa New Zealand whose work draws on themes of exploration and preservation to investigate artistic ecologies and creative modes of (re)thinking, (re)making and remembering. Her projects span across acoustic and electroacoustic concert settings from solo instrument to orchestral scores, as well as interdisciplinary projects incorporating movement, poetry, and storytelling. Ihlara’s musicological interests stem from her background as a former lawyer, with her research focusing on the interaction between public law, policy and the arts sector.
