Details:
Composer/conductor Brian Scott Wilson is a native of Lynn, MA, and a
graduate of New England Conservatory (B.M.), the University of Chicago
(M.A.) and the University of Arizona (D.M.A.). His teachers include Malcolm
Peyton, Edward Diamente, Dan Asia, Ralph Shapey and Shulamit Ran
(composition) and Barbara Schubert, Michael Walters, Gregg Hanson and Kurt
Klippstater (conducting). He has participated in conducting workshops under
Frederick Fennell and Sergiu Commissiona. Wilson is Chair of the Department
of Music at Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA, where he also teaches
Music Theory and Composition.
Finding inspiration in the music of Stravinsky, Mingus and Varese, Wilson’s
eclectic style is a masterful blend of classic and jazz idioms that feels
simultaneously familiar and new. Equally at home in symphonic, chamber,
choral, and wind band milieus, Wilson''s jazz-inflected harmonies are as
evident in the whimsical Modes ofTransportation for Orchestra as they are in
the elegiac Orange Was Her Color for Wind Band. His deep spirituality finds
expression in ways that are both obvious (Avinu Malkaynu setting for cantor
and chamber ensemble) and unexpected (the award-winning Avanti for solo
trombone and percussion).
