Betsey Biggs is a composer and artist whose practice in music, sound, video, and installation aims to explore the resonance between sound and image; to actively engage the audience; and to explore the relationships among sound, memory, and geography.

She has collaborated with musicians and artists including Margaret Lancaster, Evidence, the Now Ensemble, the BSC, So Percussion, Tarab Cello Ensemble, and the Nash Ensemble and with filmmakers Jennie Livingston and Amy Harrison. Her work has been seen and heard at venues as disparate as ISSUE Project Room, Abrons Arts Center, the Conflux Festival, MASSMoCA, and the Sundance Film Festival and on the streets of Oakland, Red Hook, Williamsburg, and the Gowanus.
