About Cait
Cait Nishimura is a Canadian composer, songwriter, and music educator based in Waterloo, Ontario. Known for writing melody-driven, programmatic music, Cait has quickly established herself as a prominent voice in the concert band community. With influences from minimalism and pop music, her work is full of simple yet lush harmonies, and themes that linger in listeners’ minds. A lifelong nature-lover, she draws inspiration from the beauty of the natural world and aims to transport listeners to the landscapes she writes about. Cait’s music has become increasingly popular among educational music programs as well as within the professional new music scene, with new works being regularly commissioned and performed by ensembles and individuals around the world. Cait holds degrees in music and education from the University of Toronto, but is an advocate of people pursuing their passions regardless of their field of study. All of her concert works are self-published under Cait Nishimura Music. For more information, please visit caitnishimura.com.
