Discipline: Music Composition
Region: Brooklyn, NY
MacDowell Fellowships: 2024

Anthony Vine is a composer based in New York City. He creates music about spirituality, beauty, and sound itself. His work across different media, including performance, installation, and sound sculpture, is minimal in form, yet acoustically dynamic and deeply emotive. Vine is the recipient of the 2024 Rome Prize in Musical Composition at the American Academy in Rome and the 2016 Gaudeamus International Composers Award.

At MacDowell, Vine worked on two projects: an ethnographic essay on acoustic pottery in medieval churches, and a book of piano music for children. The latter was supported by a 2024 NYSCA Support for Artists Award.
