Based in San Francisco, Nisco’s music has already drawn recognition for its sensitivity, scope, and collaborative spirit. Most recently, she was awarded Best Original Score at WIFFEN 2024 for the documentary Arise Firebird, a film that exposes the challenges women and women of color face in the workplace. Her growing list of credits includes ambient soundscapes for Pixar’s Inside Out 2: Emotional Experience on Pixar’s YouTube channel, original scores for acclaimed short films (Quest, The Pigeon of Waterloo, Outside Chance, Hit and Run), and stage works such as Art of Sin with Thistle Dance Company, premiered at New York’s Jefferson Market Library. She has also contributed to two independent features: The Country They Call Life (original score) and Throuple (music supervision, licensing 39 tracks from Brooklyn-based artists). Her music has been heard internationally at The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage and Air-Edel Studios in London, performed by ensembles such as the Baltimore Choral Arts Society, which honored her with the Singer’s Choice Award for her choral setting of Ave Maria, and Budapest Scoring Orchestra. Her arrangement of O Holy Night was broadcast nationally in 2023, premiered by The Catholic University Chorus and Orchestra. Her multimedia instincts extend to her own directing and producing: the CT Artists Respond grant supported her live-action animated music video Hit the Sky, which premiered in Fall 2023. Nisco’s theatrical work is no less notable. With collaborator Lindsay Kennedy, she co-wrote the musical Like Cinders, a semi-finalist for the O’Neill Musical Theatre Conference. Their earlier piece, Our Man Harry, was performed in concert by CenterStage Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., with selections later featured at the Kennedy Center’s Page-to-Stage Festival. Her music and sound editorial work at Pixar Animation Studios further demonstrates her versatility, where she has contributed to Inside Out 2, Elemental, Elio, and Dream Productions and upcoming projects Hoppers and Toy Story 5. Trained at the Royal College of Music, where she earned her Master’s in Screen Composition with Distinction, Nisco also devotes time to education, advocating for accessible arts instruction and the healing power of music. She is a proud member of ASCAP, the Alliance for Women Film Composers, and Maestra. Two important pillars of her career and mentorship are passion projects and burnout prevention advocacy. At their intersection lies her belief in finding and creating joy through music-making, a practice she views as essential to sustaining a long and meaningful creative life. As a mentor in the esteemed USC Thornton School of Music Mentorship Program and appearing as a guest lecturer at conservatories such as the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Nisco empowers emerging composers and artists to pursue their work with both ambition and balance, fostering careers built on authenticity, purpose, and joy. Audiences and collaborators alike often highlight her fascination with mythology, theology, history, art, and movement, forces she draws upon to create music that is both timeless and contemporary. She gravitates toward the uncomfortable, reframing it with compassion and beauty, and often turns to nostalgia not as sentimentality but as a profound exploration of memory and identity. Her scores and stage works consistently reveal a preoccupation with justice and the universal reach of storytelling. Her body of work reflects a restless curiosity, one that speaks across boundaries of genre and audience. Whether in concert halls, interdisciplinary collaborations, or multimedia settings, Nisco’s compositions remind us that music is not only entertainment but also a way of seeing: a lens for stories that matter, and a mirror for the world we hope to shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631312259671-8JJWU48QPSRTL32GUCPS/H25C4653.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631313031605-CER87K2KERAI1PS2YJRP/Screenshot%2B2021-09-10%2Bat%2B18.01.48.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631313171538-J1BLCZRWJ2K4874P13FH/image00003.jpeg About https://www.rebeccanisco.com/films daily 0.75 2024-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/801741d6-b958-4295-9943-976ced65cb49/MV5BOTUxNzZhNGMtYTVhNS00YTM3LWIwZDAtMGY0YzNjNDAwYmM4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTc0OTgwNTE%40._V1_.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/7136eece-e2b6-4074-bfc7-63bc31fdc0b8/Quest%3A+release+poster.png Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/34434f90-7ecd-42f6-a850-b18ad7feddd5/MV5BOGM0YjAxYjgtNTI0Yy00ODE3LWExZGEtYTM2OGE2YzYyM2M3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTAyMTM2ODkw._V1_.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/cb38330d-58cb-42cc-8cb7-43376eafb607/IMG_9173.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/0c891131-93a3-4884-818c-7e49eb7c9de6/IMG_8772.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1713054596789-Z4CQGXJSEE7K33B2E185/Instagram%2Bpromo%2Bcopy.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/b5bf2c3f-fbc9-4469-a2ff-7b92cceed1fa/Screenshot+2024-01-02+at+21.58.20.png Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/9329a39f-dfde-4cd2-871a-79229fc2e42e/282385546_1511922502560829_7920319618952404740_n.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/72353456-ac8a-4492-bf11-bb2fcea1395e/Screenshot+2021-09-30+at+15.59.58.png Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631315214350-0RDDQT1OV2WD6ASREEEO/IMG_9348.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631297848438-CTLNN46RJ7IJ6IO2GF2S/IMG_4169.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631629051401-UNHSJXL585UG1UX1U16T/PHOTO-2021-09-14-03-51-29.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1633025872726-K14RTC22EFP6ZNROY86P/Screenshot%2B2021-09-30%2Bat%2B14.09.24.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631384748253-884L3K9NFOI81OGMI8C6/PHOTO-2021-09-11-13-14-19.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631334510132-OTLAI1EWMB9LALP6YVWM/Screenshot%2B2021-09-10%2Bat%2B13.28.41.jpg Film https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631334331728-RKO517IE9B2MH1R45Q4H/IMG_9387.jpg Film https://www.rebeccanisco.com/musicals daily 0.75 2024-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/00d2dfda-0d54-44ac-811b-b0386a4d9178/IMG_7897.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/722f1b73-cd45-43f2-a852-f4d8c53c69cb/title.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/3b77cad3-0f7f-44cf-938d-2526c1b1ca15/7.png https://www.rebeccanisco.com/concert-works daily 0.75 2024-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613a5a0861043d4c58bfeeca/1631333448784-0FSTFN6VQYG3NNEXVEX1/Screenshot+2021-09-10+at+20.05.55.png Concert Works - The mannequin set The Mannequin Set with poetry by Katie Byford premiered in July of 2021 at Royal College of Music in London and was commissioned by soprano Catherine Hooper and tenor Harry Grigg. The set begins in the still waters of Swan Lake, which revisits the myth of Leda. The theme of water’s transformative power is carried through in the ocean with the protean encounter of Salt Creatures; in the final piece, Mannequin, Pygmalion’s creation returns to her original form at the bottom of a river. Moving through sharp-edged violence and foaming passion in the solo pieces, water represents a lack of control over the body which the titular duet subverts in the story of a statue reclaiming her objectivity through drowning. Feel free to take a listen down below. Featuring (in order of appearance): Swan Lake, Salt Creatures, and Mannequin.
