About the Performer:

Julie is a composer, artist, and carillonist. Her work stands interstitial to instrumental music, electronics, and performance within settings ranging from chamber music stagings to art museum sound installations to experimental film scores. Concision and poetry characterize her music, with commissions from Radio France, Dark Music Days Reykjavík, GMEM Marseille, GRAME Lyon, SansusÄ« Latvia, Chamber Music America, and various friends and ensembles. Her research on music and AI focuses on the project Deep Drawing, which tests the machine’s capabilities for bringing the intricate noises of drawing and writing to visual life.


As a carillonist, Zhu regularly performs on the Burton and Lurie Tower at the University of Michigan where she is an assistant professor of Performing Arts Technology. During her time as a visual artist in New York City, she was the resident carillonneur at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue.
