Huba de Graaff (1959, Netherlands) is a composer, performer, and electronic musician. She first played the electric violin in multiple bands in the 70s and 80s, such as The Tapes and Transister, before studying electronic music at the Instituut voor Sonologie and composition at the Royal Conservatory. Since 2003, De Graaff has created numerous music-theatre works, including Lautsprecher Arnolt (2003), Apera (2013), Pornopera (2015), and And Here I Am, a Lonely Woman, which centres on Iranian poet and filmmaker Forough Farrokhzad.
She performs solo, lectures internationally, and teaches composition at ArtEZ University of the Arts, continuing to explore the intersection of sound, theatre, and experimental performance.
