Allison Loggins-Hull

Loggins-Hull's orchestral writing incorporates sonic effects borrowed from contemporary music production—filtering, looping, layering—creating textures that blur lines between acoustic and electronic. Her works are profoundly influenced by Black American music traditions (jazz, gospel, hip-hop), resulting in a vibrant, kaleidoscopic sonic palette that feels both rooted and futuristic. Formal structures often serve narrative arcs about community, culture, and identity, while her timbral imagination creates distinctive orchestral colors that echo studio production techniques.

Loggins-Hull co-founded Flutronix with Nathalie Joachim, pioneering a duo that redefined the flute through electronics and genre-crossing. She's worked with Hans Zimmer on major film scores, absorbed production techniques that inform her concert music. Her engagement with Afrofuturism connects her to a broader cultural movement imagining liberated Black futures. As Lewis Composer Fellow with the Cleveland Orchestra (2022-2025), she focused on centering Cleveland's narratives and communities through music.

Early career focused on establishing Flutronix and building a performing career that spanned classical, contemporary, and popular music. The past decade has seen increasing focus on composition, with major orchestral commissions revealing her distinctive voice. The Cleveland Orchestra fellowship (2022-2025) marked a turning point, providing space for sustained creative work resulting in major premieres. Current appointment as Resident Artistic Partner with New Jersey Symphony (2024-2026) signals her emergence as a major compositional voice.

In 2023, Loggins-Hull led an ensemble of flutists at the Met Gala backing Lizzo's performance—the same year she was writing symphonic works for the Cleveland Orchestra, perfectly embodying her ability to move between pop spectacle and concert hall with equal authenticity and refusing to choose between these musical worlds.

Loggins-Hull was co-principal flutist on the soundtracks for Disney's 2019 Lion King remake and Creed III, working closely with Hans Zimmer—this film work isn't just a side career but directly influences her concert music's production-influenced sonic approach and dramatic pacing.

Loggins-Hull is experiencing rapid ascent in the orchestral world, with performances by Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Seattle Symphony, Toronto Symphony, and others. Her Cleveland Orchestra tenure culminated in a historic portrait album—the orchestra's first ever devoted to a living composer. She represents the new generation of composer-performers who move fluidly between genres, and orchestras are increasingly programming her works as examples of vital contemporary American music.
