Abigail Lewis had an early interest in music, starting choir and piano in 2nd grade. She started writing piano music at around the same age. At 11, she moved to Austin where she started taking music lessons with Trevor Shaw, who was a key part in refining her vocal and composition skills, and she started writing choral music at 15. She has now had ten premieres since 2022. Her piece “The Lofty Hill” for Voice, Viola, and Cello was a finalist for the Ruth Crawford Seeger Prize, and she is currently a student in Jocelyn Hagen’s Compose Like A Girl initiative. When not writing music, she can be found performing, sewing, and playing with her three cats. She is currently attending the UNT College of Music majoring in Composition and Vocal Performance. Abigail is an ASCAP member.
