Paige Burke (they/them/theirs) is a Boston-based composer, vocalist, and music educator. With compositional influences ranging from jazz to rock to minimalism, as well as their experience as a choral singer and teacher, Mx. Burke aims to create music that is accessible to everybody. Music should prompt its listeners to both feel and learn—and this is the guiding principle behind Mx. Burke’s creative output, whether in the classroom or the concert hall.

Mx. Burke has been commissioned by several ensembles, including the Chamber Singers at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell and the L.A. Choral Lab. As a former member of the UMass Lowell Chamber Singers, Mx. Burke, an alto, has performed master works including movements from Bach’s Magnificat, Brahms’ Nänie and Schicksalslied, and Mozart’s Requiem, under the direction of Brian O’Connell and Dr. Jonathan Richter. Mx. Burke has also performed internationally, as a participant in the Sarteano Choral Conducting Workshop in Italy, directed by Brian O’Connell, Simon Carrington, and Broni Falinska.

​As an educator, Mx. Burke has experience teaching all ages and skill levels, in both private studio and classroom settings. Their work with elementary- and middle-school aged students in the general music classroom, as part of their undergraduate coursework, has been heavily composition-based. Mx. Burke also teaches piano, voice, and composition lessons from their private studio near Worcester, Massachusetts.

Mx. Burke holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Studies from the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, and is currently pursuing a Master of Music in Composition at the Longy School of Music at Bard College.
