Elise Grant’s compositions cover a wide range both in style and substance. Her portfolio includes original pieces for puppets, plays, outdoor theatrical productions, innumerable chamber concerts and an opera involving over 80 performers, employing instruments from solos to symphonic. Having worked with and written for theater, opera, puppets and unique productions for special events involving children, handicapped, amateur and professional performers, she has demonstrated enormous flexibility and an unusual capacity to adapt her music to an infinite variety of situations, challenging her writing skills to make judicious choices in orchestration to match each specific circumstance. “Une musique fait sur mesure” — as a tailor would customize a suit.
