Influenced by a lifelong love of storytelling and myth, Ellis Ludwig-Leone (b. 1989) writes music that is distinguished by its narrative sweep and attention to subtle changes in emotional valence. Lauded by The New Yorker’s Jia Tolentino for his “knack for simultaneously expressing beauty and crisis,” Ludwig-Leone combines lush, naturalistic textures with moments of thorny complexity to create works that walk the fine line between euphoria and dread.Since coming to international attention as the songwriter behind the celebrated indie band San Fermin, Ludwig-Leone has spent the greater part of the last decade composing works for many of today’s contemporary classical luminaries.

False We Hope, his first album of recorded compositions, was written for Attacca Quartet and vocalist Eliza Bagg and arrived in 2023 via Better Company Records. Described as “a thought-provoking sonic journey across a strange and extraordinary soundscape that almost defies description” (OperaWire), False We Hope has had recent performances at Big Ears Festival, Birds of Paradise Festival, Við Djúpið Music Festival, and more. 2023 also saw the premiere of The Night Falls, a dance-opera with music by Ludwig-Leone, lyrics by Ludwig-Leone and Karen Russell, and direction and choreography by Troy Schumacher (New York City Ballet), at PEAK Performances at Montclair State University. Praised for Ludwig-Leone’s “ingenious, gorgeous score” that “manages to suggest both the siren song and its antidote” (The New Yorker), The Night Falls was named one of The New York Times Best Dance Performances of 2023.
