Dalia Raudonikytė (b.1970) completed a B.Mus. and M.Mus. in composition at the Lithuanian Academy of Music under Bronius Kutavičius (1990-95) and Osvaldas Balakauskas (1996-98). From 1998 to 1999 she studied electronic music and composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music with Prof. Lasse Thoresen. Dalia Raudonikytė currently resides and works in the United States.
Her music was featured at various new music festivals in Lithuania: Gaida (1997), Jauna muzika (1992, 1996, 1998), Atžalynas (1996), Youth Chamber Music Days in Druskininkai (1994, 1995), and elsewhere.
Quite a few of her compositions are based on the principles of monothematic development. As a rule, she takes several short segments from the original theme and derives further structures according to the underlying plot of dramatic development. The composer is also preoccupied with the ways to shape and transform musical space through various means of compositional technique. At the present time, one of Dalia Raudonikytė's chief interests lies in the field of electronic music.
