Mieke Doezema

The dual roots of Mieke Doezema’s raw and poignant music are New Mexico’s high desert and her work as an advocate for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors in Washington state (2019-2021), where she studied cello performance and composition at Western Washington University. In 2019, she premiered an evening of electro-acoustical and large ensemble compositions including Drunk Masculinity, Evolution to Equilibrium, Forget Me Not, and Unwelcome.

Doezema is a "Swiss Army Knife Teacher," having experience in all grade levels K-12 teaching orchestra, choir, and band. She now teaches middle and elementary school music as the Orchestra and Choir director in Bothell public schools. She continues her composition studies under the mentorship of Reena Esmail and participation in composition projects around the country.
