Alex Shapiro (b. New York City, 1962) is a familiar face in the Pacific Coast’s new music community, as a composer, activist, essayist and event moderator. Published by Activist Music, her chamber works and electroacoustic pieces are heard weekly in concerts and broadcasts across the U.S. and internationally, and have been recorded by many artists for CDs from Cambria Master Recordings, Oehms Classics, Innova Recordings, Crystal Records, Centaur Records and others. Educated at The Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music as a student of Ursula Mamlok and John Corigliano, Ms. Shapiro has received honors and awards from The American Music Center, ASCAP, the American Composers Forum, Mu Phi Epsilon, The California Arts Council and The MacDowell Colony, and she is the recent President of the Board of Directors of The American Composers Forum of Los Angeles.
