PERFORMED BY
- LILYANNE DORILAS, violin
Lilyanne Dorilas (b. 2002) is a fourth-year Music and Cognitive Science major at CWRU, studying violin with Stephen Sims and composition with Kristian Schembri (CIM). She premiered her Violin Concerto No. 1 (2022) for CWRU's Concerto Competition and her jazz big band tune "Old World" (2023) with CWRU's Jazz Ensemble I and Camerata Chamber Orchestra. Her string quintet "4 ½ Stages of Grief" (2022) and solo piano piece Kaleidoscope Variations (2023) were premiered in Spring 2023, by the Cleveland Chamber Collective and CIM pianist Jack Naglick respectively. From her concerto and orchestral works to her beginner violin studies, she incorporates the harmonic language of modal jazz, blues, and traditional European classical in her compositions. Dorilas is an alumna of New Jersey Youth Symphony (2013-2019) and Sphinx Performance Academy (2017-2019). As a passionate advocate for expanding classical music pedagogy and repertoire, she performs solo and chamber work by post-romantic and contemporary composers of color in her recitals. At Case, she participates in the CUCSO and is Tech Chair of the Music Undergraduate Student Involvement Committee. Aside from music, she enjoys studying Mandarin and writing historical fiction. She plans to pursue a PhD in fields related to Cognitive Linguistics and neuroscience and their connection to music and bilingualism. She will continue to compose pedagogical and advanced repertoire for ensembles and solo instruments, as well as soundtracks and symphonic works. She is grateful for the support she received from her loved ones, music teachers, and mentors at CWRU, CIM, and Sphinx.
