Ruby Fulton

Composer and Violinist, Winter Growth

Composer and violinist Ruby Fulton writes music which invites listeners to explore non-musical ideas through sound. Her musical portfolio includes explorations of mental illness, psychedelic research, addiction, chess strategy, and environmental change; and profiles of iconic popular figures like the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and musicians Syd Barrett and Whitney Houston. She has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects with thinkers and makers in the sciences and literary, movement and visual arts. Much of her work falls into the category of concert music, written for solos and duos to full orchestras. She is also a multi-instrumentalist, writing for violin, trumpet, and keys. Whatever musical genre or instruments Fulton chooses, her music reflects the rhythms and pulses of daily life, and the world around her.
