ISABELLE RYDER COMPOSER

British award-winning classical and jazz composer Isabelle Ryder is an unusual creative voice, bringing to bear her field experience as a former earthquake scientist on her honest and compelling music. A sensitive soul most at home in music and nature, Isabelle has a deep urge to re-imagine through music the sights and sounds that she was privileged to witness around the world. Steeped in the Anglican tradition growing up, she also writes choral and organ music.

Isabelle's works have been performed in the UK, Europe, the US and Australia.
