Monika Dalach Sayers is an award-winning composer, sound designer, and multimedia artist specialising in contemporary classical music. Her approach to making music is driven by intensive research and sound experimentation with the aim to develop cutting-edge and thought-provoking projects. Her works refer to broad references of pop culture, and address a range of current and social issues. In her practice, she blends contemporary electronic textures with traditional ensemble scoring working across acoustic, electro-acoustic, and electronic music. In her artistic projects, she seeks new hybrid forms of musical expression crossing across art genres and working with text and video. She has recently composed the music for The New Real, a new political thriller by David Edgar produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 2024 Monika was appointed to the London Symphony Orchestra Helen Hamlyn Panufnik Composers' Scheme. Monika graduated from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London with a Master of Music in Classical Composition.
