Out of stone, for string orchestra (2016)

The music of Cara Haxo juxtaposes delicate, sparkly textures with the gritty and the grotesque. Haxo is the winner of the 2022 NWMF Emerging Women Composers Competition. Other awards include the IAWM Libby Larsen and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich Prizes and the NFMC Young Composers Award. She has received commissions from the May Festival Youth Chorus, Quince Ensemble, and Splinter Reeds. Haxo is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at The College of Wooster and an Academic Dean and faculty member for The Walden School Young Musicians Program.
