Her music has been described as “wistfully idiosyncratic and contemplative” (WQXR/Q2) while The New York Times noted her “capacity to surprise.” Negrón has been commissioned by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, A Far Cry, MATA Festival, loadbang, Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Sō Percussion and the American Composers Orchestra, among others. As the first composer-in-residence at the New York Botanical Garden, she composed an immersive work for electronic soundscape and 100 voice chorus performed in the Thain Family Forest. Upcoming premieres include works for New York Philharmonic (Project 19), Dallas Symphony Orchestra and National Symphony Orchestra (co-commissioned work for orchestra and organ), and San Francisco Girls Chorus. Negrón continues to perform and compose for film.

“The Island We Made,” Velour’s collaboration with the composer Angélica Negrón and the director Matthew Placek, is a meditation on motherhood.
— Review for —
“The Puerto Rican native and Brooklyn-based composer and multi-instrumentalist, 39, works with field recordings, found sounds, robots, vegetables and [insert anything here]. “Marejada,” a piece commissioned by the Kronos Quartet and composed specifically for video conferencing software, incorporates the imperfect synchronicity of Zoom into an escapist meditation on contemporary togetherness. “Estela” channels the electrical biorhythms of a humble houseplant to trigger chattering samples of pots and pans. There’s not a limit Negrón can’t limn into music. Premieres are in the works with the LA Philharmonic, Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra.”
