Allison Loggins-Hull
About
Celebrated as a musical “powerhouse” (The Washington Post), Allison Loggins-Hull is a composer, flutist, and producer whose work defies genre, from symphonic music to film scores, chamber, and electronic music. Her music is often resonant with social themes, encompassing reflections on motherhood, Blackness, and identity. In September 2024, Loggins-Hull was appointed Resident Artistic Partner to the New Jersey Symphony for a two-year term during which she will create new works for orchestra and contribute her unique perspective and experiences to the orchestra’s programming and community engagement.
Loggins-Hull's signature compositional style is distinguished by its unique sonic effects that echo contemporary music production techniques. Her works are profoundly influenced by Black American music, creating a vibrant and kaleidoscopic sonic palette. Thematically, her compositions are deeply rooted in the experiences of community, culture, and life, offering a rich and evocative musical narrative. Her artistic reflections on Black stories, music, and experience have led to works aligned with Afrofuturism, a movement that imagines alternate realities and a liberated future viewed through the lens of Black cultures.
Upcoming highlights include performances of her music by the New York Philharmonic, featuring the New York Premiere of her work Can You See?, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with the Northeast Premiere of BSO co-commission Rhapsody on a Theme by Joni. The 2025-2026 season also brings a performance of her work at London’s Southbank Centre and a World Premiere commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony as part of her role as the orchestra’s Resident Artistic Partner. In addition, her works will be featured on two new albums: a historic portrait album by The Cleveland Orchestra – its first ever to showcase a living composer – and a recording of her chamber music, Patchwork, also featuring members of The Cleveland Orchestra.
The 2024-2025 season marked Loggins-Hull’s last of three seasons as the Lewis Composer Fellow with the Cleveland Orchestra. Through programming, commissions, and community engagement, her work with the orchestra focused on the narratives and history of Cleveland through the prism of one of the world’s great orchestras, culminating in three world premieres: Can You See? (2023) and Grit. Grace. Glory. (2025), both for full orchestra, and Legacy (2024) for string sextet. In a first for the Lewis Fellow’s quarter-century history, Loggins-Hull performed alongside TCO musicians throughout her tenure. Following its world premiere, Grit. Grace. Glory. received its Canadian Premiere by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Recent highlights also include the West Coast Premiere of Loggins-Hull’s flute concerto Rhapsody on a Theme by Joni by the Seattle Symphony with soloist Demarre McGill and performing her own works with members of the orchestra at Raisbeck Music Center’s Octave 9, as well as premieres for The Knights, Third Coast Percussion, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Apollo Chamber Players, and the National Orchestral Institute.
In recent years, Loggins-Hull performed with Lizzo at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards Show® and at the 2023 Met Gala, where she led an ensemble of flutists. As a performer on film scores, Loggins-Hull was co-principal flutist on the soundtracks for Creed III and Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King, working closely with Hans Zimmer. Continuing her work in film, Loggins-Hull composed the score for Bring Them Back, a 2019 award-winning documentary about the legendary dancer Maurice Hines directed by Jon Carluccio and executive produced by Debbie Allen.
Born in Chicago, Loggins-Hull lives with her family in Montclair, New Jersey. She is represented by Pink Noise Agency, a BIG Arts Group Company. Allison Loggins-Hull received a 2025 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Learn more at www.allisonloggins.com.
