Glenna Burmer is a composer and artist who produces live concerts, music and dance programs featuring original music, choreography and video. As president of Burmer Music LLC, she has produced six contemporary classical music CDs or music compilations, including three concerts at Benaroya Hall in Seattle and a ballet at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Wash. Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, her productions have won awards, including the 2014 Independent Music Vox Populi Award for both the best contemporary classical album and best instrumental (Celebrate World Music!). Her work has featured combinations of world instruments such as kotos with orchestra (“Love Song of the Japanese Cranes” from Symphonic Stories), Flamenco dancers and guitarists accompanied by chamber orchestra (“Spanish Dances” from Celebrate World Music!), an original ballet realizing the visual richness and horror of Dante’s Inferno, and an audiovisual concert that showcased 13.2 billion years of the universe in ten minutes, synchronized in real time with actual NASA footage from space (“Big Bang”, from Origins: Life and the Universe). Most recently, Burmer has branched out into combining original music with animation (Nanakorobi). With both an M.D. and a Ph.D., Burmer is a physician and scientist as well as co-founder of a Seattle healthcare company that is a world leader in the antibody industry.
