Canadian composer Jocelyn Morlock<\/a> has died at the age of 53. A native of the St. Boniface neighbourhood of Winnipeg, Morlock was based in Vancouver, where she was well known as both a composer and educator.<\/p>\n

Her Twitter bio gives a hint at her personality: Free Range, Organic Composer, admirer of weird birds, curious, in process of failing to divest from social media. Ugh. She\/her.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sean Bickerton, BC Director, Canadian Music Centre commented in a statement<\/a>. \u201cJocelyn was a national treasure, an inspiration, someone whose laugh lifted the spirits of everyone near, and whose deep and profound commitment to enlightened values was exemplary. She made an invaluable contribution to Canadian music, to this nation\u2019s cultural and social fabric, to our collective love of birds, to the countless friends who loved her, to the students she inspired, and the colleagues she influenced and with whom she explored the boundaries of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s only one of many figures in the Canadian music world expressing their dismay.<\/p>\n

Devastatingly sad news about Jocelyn Morlock today. If you're not familiar with her work, read this and listen to her piece "My Name Is Amanda Todd". A great loss of a great talent.? https:\/\/t.co\/1zKdXHue82<\/a><\/p>\n
