Gloria Coates (* 10 October 1938 in Wausau, Wisconsin) is an American composer who lives in Munich.

Life

Gloria Coates began composing at an early age, winning a national composition competition at the age of fourteen. After completing her composition studies, she continued her education at Louisiana State University and Columbia University in New York with Otto Luening, at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and with Alexander Tscherepnin.

Her Music on Open Strings (Symphony No. 1), written in 1973, was the most discussed work at the Warsaw Autumn in 1978; it was a finalist for the Koussevitzky Prize in 1986 and was performed at the Musica Viva concerts of the Bavarian Radio in 1980, the first orchestral composition by a female composer in the 35 years of the series’ existence. Her works have also been performed at the Dresden Music Festival, at New Music America and at the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music in 1972.

Of her oeuvre, the high number of now 16 symphonies, which are frequently performed by renowned orchestras, stands out in particular. She has also composed string quartets, chamber music and vocal compositions, works for solo instruments, electronic music and works for the stage, such as Everyman. Morality Play (incidental music to Everyman) in 1962.

Between 1971 and 1984 she organised concert series of German-American music in Germany.
