Rebekah’s Biography

Rebekah Driscoll was born in Lebanon, New Hampshire in 1980. As a child she taught herself to play several musical instruments, and as a teenager she began composing music without formal instruction. She later studied flute, voice, and composition at Sarah Lawrence College, and she now lives in Brooklyn, New York. She is a member of the American Music Center (AMC) and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

Ms. Driscoll enjoys writing for unusual combinations of voices and instruments, and exploring the connections between language and music. She often writes her own texts or creates texts from diverse sources (such as using excerpts from six different plays by Shakespeare to illustrate themes of darkness in The Mask of Night). An avid student of foreign languages, she has studied Spanish, Italian, and Russian, and she has experience setting foreign texts to music. She can frequently be found singing with choruses throughout the New York City area.

Not only a musician, Ms. Driscoll is an active proponent of sustainability and alleviation of poverty. To that end, she has been involved with several environmental groups, has served with AmeriCorps in the South Bronx, and volunteered at a women’s health clinic in Nicaragua.
