Every year the EAMA invites guest artists, lecturers, and performers to participate in our summer programs. Some of these individuals are asked to serve as guest faculty, teaching across our programs for the summer session.
Jonathan Dawe
Jonathan Dawe, the youngest composer to be commissioned by James Levine, has emerged as an exciting and original composer of the 21st century.
Cited for his innovative sound involving the recasting of early music, through compositional workings based upon fractal geometry, his music has been described as “skillful”, “sparkling” (New York Times) and “envelope-pushing” (Boston Globe). Recent premieres by
The Boston Symphony Orchestra, The American Composers Orchestra, New York City Opera, Cygnus Ensemble, The Miro Quartet,
The Manhattan Sinfonietta, and The Second Instrumental Unit. Dawe is a member of the graduate faculty at The Juilliard School.
