Anita Pari is a composer, pianist, and cellist from Ottawa, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Composition at McGill University. In recent years, Anita’s music has taken inspiration from a variety of themes, ranging from mental health to the study of birdsongs that she has encountered while birdwatching. Through her creative work, she often reflects on and reimagines aspects of her lived experience, drawing from circumstances and events that have shaped her identity. She has recently received the Luba Zuk Piano Duo Commission Prize and also been invited to compose for the QUASAR saxophone quartet. Anita holds ARCT diplomas in piano and cello as well as a B.Mus. degree from Carleton University, where she received the Governor General’s Academic Medal for graduating at the head of the 2020 undergraduate class.
