Composer Du Yun has signed a long-term contract to make G. Schirmer, part of Wise Music Group, the exclusive publisher for her concert works and operas.

Du Yun is the winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for hr opera “Angel’s Bone” and serves as Professor of Composition at the Peabody Institute and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She was also elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2024 and was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2018.

“The trust and collaborative spirit I have had with the team of Schirmer is invaluable,” said Du Yun per an official press statement. “I am thrilled to be deepening our partnership and building on this foundation for the future.”

Among her upcoming projects is “Red Fox (Or, when bathing in the waterfall, memory is of no consequence)” for Dutch National Opera, premiering in 2027 and reuniting her with librettist Royce Vavrek.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Du Yun and her work,” added Peggy Monastra, Vice President of G. Schirmer. “Her creative ideas know no bounds and her music – which can be both wildly extroverted and intensely intimate – has the power to speak to audiences on a global scale. With each and every new work, she explores new terrain and grows immensely as an artist. Supporting her existing catalogue and future projects with a long-term commitment is something we look forward to with great respect and anticipation.”
