Rebecca Lynn Adams is a Canadian composer from Prince Edward Island, currently based in Vancouver, BC. Above all else, Rebecca loves writing music about people: Mental and physical health, human conflict, and personal identity are all topics explored in her catalogue of work. She adores creating music for media, and has written original music for several short films and games, including “Grim & Gran” by Gina Guan, “Snapshot” by Kaitlyn McAloney, and “Romario” by James Cooper. Her music has been performed by ensembles such as the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra, and the Dalhousie Wind Ensemble.
Rebecca is currently completing her Master of Music Composition at the University of British Columbia, studying under Dorothy Chang, Jennifer Butler, Keith Hammel, and T. Patrick Carrabré. She completed a Bachelor of Music in Composition at Dalhousie University in 2020, and a Graduate Certificate in Music Scoring for Screen and Stage at Sheridan College in 2021. Rebecca has participated in several prestigious composer training programs: She was one of seven composers selected from across Canada to participate in the Winnipeg New Music Festival Composers Institute in 2023, and was chosen to attend the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance’s Composition Academy
in 2025 and the Fusion Film Scoring Workshops in 2024. Rebecca has received many awards, including the Ernest Wesley Cubitt Sharpe Memorial Scholarship and Sheridan College’s Board of Governors Silver Medal, as well as being selected as one of two winners of Alkali Collective’s Call for Scores in 2025.
