She was profiled in the Lithuanian Music Encyclopedia, Muzikos Enciklopedija, in 2007.

She died on 7 September 2018 after a protracted fight with cancer.

Biography

Dalia Raudonikytė was born in 1970 in Vilnius, Lithuania to the painter Danguolė Raudonikienė. Dalia studied Music Theory from 1986 to 1990 at the Juozo Tallat-Kelpsos Conservatory in Vilnius. She continued her studies at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and the Theatre under Professor Bronius Kutavicius and Professor Osvaldas Balakauskas, where she received a Master of Music degree in 1996 in both composition and piano pedagogy. After she received an award from The Research Council of Norway, Raudonikytė, she moved to Norway to continue her studies as a research fellow in composition and electro-acoustic music with Professor Lasse Thoresen at the Norwegian Academy of Music (1998-2000). In 1997, she became a member of the Lithuanian Composers Union and was accepted as a member of the Norwegian Society of Composers in 2003. She was profiled in the Lithuanian Music Encyclopedia Muzikos Enciklopedija (2007), the Encyclopedia of Lithuanian Composers - Lietuviu kompozitoriai (2004) and LIETUVA IV (2015).

Composition

Dalia Raudonikytė explored a wide variety of media and styles in her electronic, instrumental, vocal and orchestral compositions. Major works include Grues et Nix for string orchestra (1996), Spalvos for symphony orchestra (1995), Missa brevis for choir and organ (1993), as well as works for organ, choir, chamber, and vocal music, and electroacoustic music. Her compositions have been performed at the international contemporary music festivals “Jauna muzika” (1992, 1996, 1998), “Druskininkai” (1994, 1995), “Atžalynas” (1996), “Festspillene i Bergen” (2001), Oslo International Church Music Festival (2001) in Norway, “Gaida”, “Is arti” and “Muzikos ruduo” in Lithuania, “Floralia muzyczne” in Poland, the “MATA Festival“, “New York Film Festival“, “Another Experiment by Women“, and the “New York Electronic Art Festival“ in the United States.

Collaborations with visual artists Lilly White and Ewa Jacobson resulted in multi-media sound and visual installations in Lithuania and the United States.

Commissions from instrumentalists specializing in new music such as the Norwegian saxophonist Rolf Erik Nystrøm and the American guitarist Daniel Lippel resulted in works for solo instruments that utilized extended techniques such as vocalizing and playing the saxophone simultaneously (e.g. 'Everything Passes'). Works for both of these performing artists appear on Raudonikytė With's solo CD Solitarius, released on New Focus Recordings in 2017. Solitarius was reviewed in the Lithuanian weekly newspaper «7 Days of Art» and was awarded "Best of Bandcamp Contemporary Classical" by Bandcamp in September 2017.
