Luka Reardon is an Ōtautahi Christchurch-based artist, composer, oboist and recorder player. Her work includes notated compositions, graphic designs and audio-visual works, and she creates works designed to actively foster collaborative composer-performer relationships. Her works have since been performed and workshopped throughout the country - one of which being her “Sour” for ensemble, which won the 2022 University of Canterbury Lilburn Trust Composition Competition. She is a founding member of the Sælvage Collective, a contemporary ensemble of composer-performers hailing from Ōtautahi Christchurch and Ōtepoti Dunedin. She is a current Master of Arts student at the University of Canterbury, having graduated from the University of Canterbury School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in performance and composition in 2022.
