Zoë A. Wallace (formerly known as Zoë Holbrook) is a classical composer and guitarist who is continually striving to broaden the repertoire for instruments in an ensemble setting. She has performed in a number of concerts as a soloist and in a duo throughout California, Illinois, and Utah, and has had the pleasure of playing the premieres of such pieces as “Thoughts” by Darlene Castro, “Roots” by Nicholas Denton-Protsack, “Vertex” by Zoë Wallace, the west coast premiere of “Distance and the Sea” by Stan Funicelli, and many others. Most recently, Zoë founded Nightingale Ensemble and acts as the guitarist, resident composer, and artistic director to continue her goal of expanding the repertoire for unusual instrument pairings.
