About

Danae Venson is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Houston, Texas. Starting as a singer in church at four years old, Danae pushed forward in her attempts to harness the power of music–her most recent accomplishment the completion of her Bachelor of Music studies with Academic Honors at The Juilliard School under the combined guidance of Dr. Amy Beth Kirsten and Valerie Coleman.

In 2020, after paying close attention to troubling events of racial violence, Danae decided to find a way to “speak without words.” Since then, she has afforded the attention of collaborators and commissioners nationwide. Venson––a winner of National Sawdust’s Hildegard Commission and a recipient of an ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers Honorable Mention––has gained the experience of working with Seattle Symphony, Helga Davis, the Denyce Graves Foundation, MATA Festival, New York Youth Symphony, the Houston Ballet Academy, Castle of our Skins, The Juilliard School, and up-and-coming film and play direc
