Priscilla McLean

Priscilla McLean (née Taylor; born May 27, 1942) is an American composer, performer, video artist, writer, and music reviewer.

At Indiana University, Bloomington (MM 1969), she was greatly influenced by the music of Xenakis, who was teaching there.

From 1976 to 1980 she produced the American Society of Composers' Radiofest series.

She sings with extended vocal techniques and plays the piano, synthesizer, violin, percussion, and Amerindian wooden flutes, as well as newly created instruments.

[2] The New Grove Dictionary of Music describes McLean's work as "[ranging] from abstract orchestral and chamber music to dramatic electro-acoustic works.
