BIOGRAPHY

Kaitlin White (b. 2003) is an Canadian-American composer, pianist and visual artist from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and Labrador who explores the relationship between music and visual art. As a way of incorporating her two passions into her everyday life, White began researching the connection between visual art and music and aims to translate the visual works she loves to music through her compositions. 

 

White has been awarded the R.F. MacLeod Memorial Entrance Scholarship in Music (2021), Helen J. Marquis Bursary in Music (2021), won first place in the Gower Community Band’s arrangement category (2024) and was the recipient of the Glory of Mozart Travel Scholarship (2025). As of 2024, she became a bespoken fellow, and received acceptance to the ICEBERG Institute’s Festival for New Music where she received her American premiere with “The Fairy Dance,” performed by Hub New Music. 

 

She completed her Bachelor's degree (Honours) from Memorial University of Newfoundland’s (MUN) School of Music in 2025 and is currently completing her Master’s degree in Composition at the University of Toronto.

 

When she is not writing music or playing piano, White is either reading, drawing or painting.
