Music

Composer Ingrid Stölzel has been described as having “a gift for melody”(San Francisco Classical Voice)[3] and “evoking a sense of longing” that creates “a reflective and serene soundscape that makes you want to curl up on your windowsill to re-listen on a rainy day.”[4] Her music has been described as “tender and beautiful” (American Record Guide) and as creating a “haunting feeling of lyrical reflection and suspension in time and memory” (Classical-Modern Review).[5] At the heart of her compositions is a belief that music can create profound emotional connections with the listener.
