Composer Hope Salmonson (she/her), from K’jipuktuk (Halifax), is driven by community and by sharing her love of music. Her compositions frequently reflect her own queerness and transness, as well as her surroundings in the natural and unnatural world. Her essay, “Not Quite Romeo: Berlioz, Smithson and the Unspoken Truth,” was published in the 2019 issue of Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology. An undergraduate student at Mount Allison University, she is excitedly developing her composition portfolio while studying with Dr. Kevin Morse. Outside of music, Hope enjoys experimental cooking, video games and time spent with her chosen family.
