Dr. Ramona Luengen has composed extensively in the choral idiom, and is known for her lyrical and well-crafted works. Her compositions have been commissioned, performed, recorded and broadcast by both professional and amateur choirs around the world. Her full-length 'Stabat Mater', for mezzo soprano solo, women’s choir and orchestra, was awarded Outstanding Choral Composition and Choral Event of the Year by the Canadian Association of Choral Conductors and Vancouver New Music. Her opera for young audiences, 'Naomi’s Road', has received over 350 performances in North America. Luengen is also well-respected for her work as a choral conductor and educator, most notably for her knowledge, encouragement and interpretation of contemporary music. Noted in the Cambridge Companion to Choral Music as one of the four most prolific and important Canadian women composers, she has been a recipient of the inaugural Vancouver Arts Award, the BC Choral Federation’s Herbert Drost Award for Distinguished Service, and was twice nominated for the YWCA’s Women of Distinction Award.
