I’m Briggs Kennedy and I write music to tell stories. My entry into the world of composing – primarily for chamber ensembles (think string quartets) and solo works started with Scott McAllister in 2007. I was introduced to an entire musical world I didn’t know existed. Since then my works have been performed all over the United States and some of the globe, including the Cabrillo Festival, the Bang on a Can Summer Festival, the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival, Oh My Ears, Downtown Chamber Series, and Rhymes with Opera. I am based in Phoenix and enjoy working as a grant writer, advocate of new music, and composer.
