Mundry was the first resident composer of the Staatskapelle in Dresden. She previously held a similar position at the Tong Yong Festival, the Lucerne Festival and the Mannheim National Theater.[2]
Mundry's compositions are characterized by a highly individualized musical language, full of variants and nuances: "She hardly ever repeats herself; each time, sounds and sequences of sounds are articulated differently."[3] Isabel Mundry's work is currently published by Breitkopf & Härtel.[4]
She was one of the top 10 performed composers on the Internationalen Ferienkurse für Neue Musik between 1946 and 2014.[5]
