KATY JARZEBOWSKI is a composer scoring music for film and ballet. With a great enthusiasm for the bold and unexpected, her work balances dynamic orchestral writing with elements of sound design, electronics, and fearless instrumentations. She is happiest in the midst of collaboration, searching for new ways to score the dissonance, the glitch, the cheeky and charmingly irreverent.
Katy's music for the Emmy winning THE FIRE THAT TOOK HER (MTV Docs) was nominated for a 2022 IDA Best Score Award, and in 2023, her score for BUBJAN won a Hollywood Music in Media Award. She scored the Emmy nominated IN THE DARK OF THE VALLEY (MSNBC Films) and the upcoming documentaries ALL ILLUSIONS MUST BE BROKEN, produced by Terrence Mallick, Robert Redford, and Nick Offerman, and ON THE LINE: THE RICHARD WILLIAMS STORY. Her score for CLEMENTINE was released as a soundtrack by Infinite Companion in 2021.
In 2021, Katy collaborated with choreographer Emily Adams on a new ballet called THE THING WITH FEATHERS, commissioned by Ballet West in partnership with the Sundance Institute; the pair continue to make weird things together to this day, and their next commission premieres with the Richmond Ballet in March 2024.
Katy graduated from Yale University and has a Masters in Music from NYU, where she studied with Pulitzer Prize-winner Julia Wolfe. She was a composer fellow at Berlinale Talents and the Sundance Music and Sound Design Lab at Skywalker Sound. Katy is grateful to her parents for the fire in her belly and her grandparents for sharing their love of music.
