is a composer from the Washington, D.C. area. She currently studies Music Composition (M.M.) at Binghamton University under Dr. Daniel Thomas Davis. She also graduated from Nazareth University (B.M. Music Composition; minors in Honors, Piano, Music History, and Music Theory; Summa Cum Laude) in May 2026. Previous composition professors include Dr. Octavio Vazquez, Haralabos [Harry] Stafylakis, and Dr. Jordan Chase. Colangelo has also participated in composition masterclasses with Lori Laitman, Gity Razaz, and Clarice Assad, as well as several professional readings by the Salaff Quartet.

Colangelo writes both commissions and freelance works. Her compositional style is inspired by minimalism, neo-Romanticism, and folk music with a focus on vocal, choral, and chamber works.

Colangelo was named a semifinalist in the 2025 Ruth Wales du Pont Collegiate Composition Competition for her fusion art song O Mind and received the 2024 Nazareth University MLK Award for Creative Expression for her choir piece Close Are We. Her piece for treble choir, Spiritsong, was selected for international release by Ablaze Records on their 2026 album “New Choral Voices, Vol. 8” featuring Coro Volante. In addition, she has had several experiences as a guest choral conductor since 2021 and has been praised for her “natural talent for choral writing” (Lori Laitman).

Colangelo is passionate about connecting younger generations of listeners to both traditional and modern classical music, as well as amplifying the voices of marginalized and overlooked composers. She addresses both ambitions on her weekly radio show, “Musical Notes,” which features classical music by minority composers in a variety of styles. She also explored these interests with a scholarly lens in her Honors Thesis, “Where Are The Women? Why Music History Curricula Overlook Women Composers and How It Impacts Composers Today”.
