Born in Mississippi, Carrie Leigh Page composes music for chamber ensembles, orchestra, and electronic media, with a special emphasis on vocal writing. She has collaborated with dramatic artists, vocalists, and educators to create chamber operas both for young artists and young audiences, and she is an avid researcher in the areas of opera and music education.

Page earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Converse College in 2002 where she began her compositional studies with Scott Robbins. Under the tutelage of Marc Satterwhite, she completed the Master of Music degree in composition from the University of Louisville in 2005 where she held the Moritz von Bomhard Fellowship in Composition.

Page has studied with Roshanne Etezady, Jody Rockmaker, James DeMars, and Glenn Hackbarth at Arizona State University, where she is a candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree.

Page is currently working on commissions from mezzo-soprano Korin Kormick and pianist Denine LeBlanc. Her music has appeared on recordings released by the University of Louisville, including the 2005 Fresh Stuff CD and the (De)Constructions project with composer and bass clarinetist Brad Baumgardner. Page is a member of ASCAP, the Society of Composers, and the College Music Society. She manages her own publishing through Dux Femina Facti Music.
