Julia Werntz earned her Bachelor's Degree in Performance on the oboe from the New England Conservatory in 1988, studied composition independently with Joe Maneri for several years, and in 2000 earned her Ph.D. in Composition and Theory from Brandeis University. Starting in fall 2007 she will be teaching the Microtonal Composition and Performance course at the New England Conservatory, created by Joseph Maneri, and she also teaches music theory and composition at Northeastern University.
Since the mid 1990s her music, mostly chamber and solo pieces, has been almost exclusively microtonal. Her music has been performed on concert series and festivals around the Northeastern United States and Europe, and can be heard on the CD All In Your Mind: Music of Julia Werntz and John Mallia (Capstone). She also has written a few articles on microtonal and other contemporary music, most notoriously: "Adding Pitches: Some New Thoughts, Ten Years After Perspectives Of New Music's Forum: Microtonality Today'" in Perspectives of New Music (vol. 39, no. 2).
