Rachel Devore Fogarty
Music

Rachel DeVore Fogarty's works have been commissioned, awarded and performed by organizations in the U.S. and internationally, including the Bryan Symphony, St. Olaf College, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Sparks & Wiry Cries, the Luna Nova Music Ensemble, Cantus and VocalEssence.  She is inspired by the way stories distill the power of language, evoke vivid imagery, and resonate with the complexities of the human condition.  Her string quartet, sky darkening early, was selected as part of a reading session with the GRAMMY®-nominated JACK Quartet. Upcoming projects include the musical A Thousand Faces (lyrics by  Kevin Fogarty, book by Eric Lane, conceived and directed by Sam Scalamoni), a chamber music commission, On the rim of a thin place,  for Duo Atypique, Liturgies for the NATS Mentoring Program for Composers with Cincinnati Song Initiative, a new micro-opera, Untangled Threads for the SALT Quintet, and her new song cycle Poor Katy will appear on the upcoming 2026 Summer album release by two time  GRAMMY®-nominated soprano Laura Strickling and pianist Joy Schreier.
