Multidisciplinary Artist Bio
Committed to the belief that artistic expression is an elemental impulse of human nature and essential to humanity, Rain Worthington has followed her own instinctive creative path. Self-taught and multidisciplinary, she is drawn toward the transcendent power of music and visual arts and the potency of awe.
Embarking on a new creative direction in 2023, in tandem with her career as a composer, Rain re-embraced an earlier passion for sculptural spaces. She is now committed to exploring a multidisciplinary artistic vision of immersive experiential installations and is currently an artist in the NYC Crit Club’s mentorship Canopy Program.
Combining materials, illumination, motion, video and music to convey an ephemeral fluidity, she infuses a transformative energy into the spiritual and physical aspects of these spaces – tapping into a deep primal channel of subliminal connections and emotional responses.
As a composer, Rain’s work and career has been the subject of more than two dozen podcasts, articles, and video interviews. Performances of her music have ranged in scope from New York City dance clubs to Carnegie Hall, and World premieres of her orchestral works in the U.S., Brazil, Italy, Croatia, and Armenia. She has received music commissions from NY Philharmonic violinist Audrey Wright, the Palisades Virtuosi Trio, and the Portland Youth Philharmonic.
Worthington’s newest 2024 PARMA Recording release is “Dream Vapors Suite – Live,” featuring the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra World Premiere performance of this three-movement orchestral work. Previous PARMA releases include two full portrait albums of her music "Dream Vapors" and "Passages Through Time."
Rain currently serves as Advocacy Chair on the International Alliance for Women in Music board, and, previously was the Artistic Administrator and Composer Advocate for the New York Women Composers, 2006-2021.
