Nate Brown’s music embraces the diversity of 21st-century
America
through its mix of stylistic influences, exploring the blurred
boundaries
between the worlds of modern classical music and jazz and between
Western and non-Western music. He has
composed works for various
standard classical ensembles as well as for large
and small jazz groups
and Balinese gamelan.
One of his recent works, The
Whooshing Noise They Make As They Go
By for saxophone and electronics, was
premiered by Dave Camwell at
the World Saxophone Congress in Ljubljana,
Slovenia in 2006. Nate
Brown holds degrees in composition from the Wheaton Conservatory
(Illinois), the University of Oregon, and the Hartt School.
