 Osnat Netzer is a multi-faceted musician based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Trained from an early age as a composer, pianist and singer-songwriter in Israel, she came to the United States in 2003 for graduate studies in composition, music theory and piano at Mannes, and continued her studies in composition at New England Conservatory, where she earned her doctorate in 2011. A scene from her “riotously funny” (*New York Times*) opera *The Wondrous Woman Within* was performed to great acclaim on New York City Opera’s VOX festival in 2012, and the complete opera will receive its premiere at Tel Aviv’s Cameri Theatre in 2015. Other recent and upcoming performances of her compositions include *Schertch* (Spektral Quartet with Tim Munro), *Pang Spindle* (Cadillac Moon) and *Common Ground* (BMOP). Dr. Netzer joined the faculty of Harvard University in 2013, where she teaches musicianship, theory and composition.
