Bethany Younge is a composer and performer whose work interrogates the physicality of music-making, merging acoustic and electronic sound with the visceral presence of the performer. Her pieces often employ instrumental deconstruction, motion-activated technologies, sounding costumes, and choreographed movement to amplify the body's role in musical expression. Propulsive rhythms and uneven grooves collide with extended techniques, creating a tactile, kinetic sound world that teeters between control and abandon.

Currently Technical Director and Core Lecturer at Dartmouth College, Younge has been commissioned and performed by festivals worldwide, including National Sawdust (New Works Commission), Gaudeamus Muziekweek, Darmstadt International Summer Course, Resonant Bodies Festival, Long Beach Opera, and Frequency Festival. She has collaborated with ensembles such as JACK Quartet, TAK Ensemble, Collective Lovemusic, International Contemporary Ensemble, ASKO|Schönberg, Fonema Consort, and Ekmeles Vocal Ensemble, among others across the U.S. and Europe.

Her awards include the American Academy of Arts and Letters Charles Ives Scholarship Award, a Fromm Commission, the Kanter/Mivos Prize, the Barcelona Mixtur Commission, a Stipend Prize from Darmstadt, the Dublin Sound Lab Commission, a Gaudeamus Award nomination, and a residency fellowship from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation.
