Julie Harting (b. 1957) has been composing music since the early 1980’s, and has written over two dozen original compositions, including several orchestral pieces, three string quartets, songs, solo pieces and various chamber ensemble pieces. Harting earned her M.A. and D.M.A in Music Composition from Columbia University, and she holds a B.M. in Music Composition from Manhattan School of Music. She studied under Ursula Mamlok, Mario Davidovsky, George Edwards, David Rakowski, Jacques Monod and Harold Seletsky. Her body of compositions is diverse, demonstrating ample skill and talent in a comprehensive array of musical forms. Harting has been influenced by the Second Viennese School, as well as by the music of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Messiaen, Ives and jazz. In addition, having grown up in Lancaster County, PA, an area with a Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish heritage, she has been influenced by the simplicity and integrity of the Amish lifestyle. Working within the tradition of atonal western art music, she creates emotionally compelling works of intense beauty and integrity. Her works have been performed in New York City at the Knitting Factory, Galapagos, South Oxford Space, the Broadway Presbyterian Church, Kathryn Bache Miller Theater, Greenwich House, Greenwich School of Music, Cornelia Street Café, Third Street Settlement School and the Theater for a New City.
