Shatin started as a purely acoustic composer, but since the late eighties, when she founded the Virginia Center for Computer Music at the University of Virginia, she has created a substantial body of electroacoustic and digital music. Examples include Elijah’s Chariot, for string quartet and electronics, commissioned by the Kronos Quartet; Spring Tides, for Pierrot Ensemble and interactive electronics, commissioned by Da Capo Chamber Players; and Rotunda, a new music video (2009) created in collaboration with filmmaker Robert Arnold. Her work ranges from totally fixed to improvisational. Her Grito del Corazón, for electronics, visuals (by Kathy Aoki) and improvising chamber ensemble or soloist is an example of the latter. She also continues to compose for acoustic ensembles, such as Da Capo Chamber Players and the Richmond Symphony. Shatin is a strong advocate for her fellow composers, having served on the boards of the American Composers Alliance, the League/ISCM, IAWM, and as President of American Women Composers. Shatin is currently William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Music at the University of Virginia.
