Biography:
Liz Meredith is a violist/violinist, improviser, and composer from Baltimore, Maryland. Her music explores many creative facets, from composing instrumental works to making drone-based ambient music, electro-acoustic pieces, visual/graphic scores, and solo improvisations.

“Liz Meredith is a gorgeous plunge into a plaintive mood, a place where rising and falling electronic textures and drawn-out viola lines cast soothing shadow plays on the brain.”

– Bret McCabe, Baltimore City Paper (2012)

Her most recent projects include solo music as Liz Meredith, X|i|O, collaborations with John Somers, Beth Brown, and Timothy Wisniewski, and work as an artist/designer for Vaux Flores. In addition to performing her own music, Liz has contributed string parts for recordings by Monica Lionheart, Teletextile, and Microkingdom, and has premiered 21st-century music by emerging composers.

She has toured as a soloist, and performed at music festivals and conferences throughout the U.S. including Signal Flow (Mills College, Oakland, CA), Time Stands Still: Notation in Musical Practice (Wesleyan Univ., Hartford, CT), and High Zero Festival (Baltimore, MD).
