Multi-genre composer Ellen Reid has signed a global publishing deal with Wise Music Group and Chester Music Limited.

Reid is currently serving as Composer-in-Residence with New Mexico Philharmonic and is the Contemporary Music Chair for Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Reid received the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Music for her opera “p r i s m.” Along with composer Missy Mazzoli, Reid co-founded the Luna Composition Lab which is a mentorship program for young female, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming composers.

Her work also includes sound design, film scoring, ensemble, and choral writing. Reid’s string commission for Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, “West Coast Sky Eternal” will make its premiere in May of this year. Also, she is currently working with the Dutch National Opera on a new stage production.

The composer said in an official press release, “I am honored to join Chester Music’s phenomenal line-up of composers — these are artists whose work I deeply respect and admire. I couldn’t ask for a more talented and passionate team than those at Chester and Wise Music Group to help guide me through the next chapter of my career.”
