Gloria Coates (born October 10, 1938 in Wausau, Wisconsin) is an American composer who has lived in Munich, Germany since 1969. She studied with Alexander Tcherepnin, Otto Luening, and Jack Beeson. Her music is postminimalist, featuring canonic structures and prominent glissandos. In Kyle Gann's article "A Symphonist Stakes Her Claim", Gloria Coates was crowned, "the greatest woman symphonist", for her passionate pursuit and persistence in a domain that is dominated by men. Besides composing, Gloria Coates also paints abstract expressionistic paintings that are often used as the covers for her albums.
