She has written\u00a0works for large ensemble, chamber ensembles, soloists, mixed media, live electronics, and film.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a page from composers\u00a0like Morton Feldman, she uses\u00a0economy as a vehicle to get to the truth what she wants to say as an artist. Much like her personality,\u00a0Volpini&#8217;s music is introspective and focused on saying more with less.<\/p>\n<p>Lean in, and listen close.
