Robert Beaser
born: 29 May 1954
country: USA
Robert Beaser was born on 29 May 1954 in Boston, Massachusetts. One of the most accomplished creative musicians of his generation, his music has been performed and commissioned by major orchestras, conductors, ensembles and performers worldwide. Cited early in the 1980s as one of the ‘new tonalists’, his works now defy categorization and chart their own unique trajectories through a wide range of media, blurring boundaries and reconciling seemingly contradictory worlds in unexpected ways. He is the recipient of numerous major awards and honours including an Emmy Award (2016), a GRAMMY® nomination, Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellowships, and the Rome Prize from the American Academy on Rome. In 2004 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Beaser studied literature, political philosophy and music at Yale University, graduating summa cum laude in 1976. He went on to earn his Master of Music, M.M.A. and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from the Yale School of Music. His principal composition teachers have included Jacob Druckman, Earle Brown, Toru Takemitsu, Arnold Franchetti, Yehudi Wyner, Lukas Foss and Goffredo Petrassi. In addition, he studied conducting with Otto-Werner Mueller and William Steinberg at Yale and composition with Betsy Jolas on a fellowship to Tanglewood, Massachusetts.
From 1978–90 he served as co-Music Director and Conductor of the innovative Contemporary Chamber Ensemble Musical Elements in New York, bringing premieres of over two hundred works to Manhattan. From 1988–93 he was the ‘Meet the Composer’ and Composer-in-Residence with the American Composers Orchestra and throughout the 1990s served as their Artistic Advisor. During that time he spearheaded the groundbreaking Sonidos de las Americas Festival (1993–9)—a week-long event every year of musical and cultural exchange, bringing composers from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Cuba to the stage of Carnegie Hall. From 2001–13 he served as the ACO’s Artistic Director and he is currently the Artistic Director Laureate.
Since 1993, he has been Professor and Chairman of the composition department at the Juilliard School, New York. In Beaser’s article in the New York Times’ Opinionator section (‘The Reconstruction of Rome’, 2012), he describes his artistic epiphany and transformation from 1970s modernism to a more personal flexible stylistic hybridity. Since the early 80s, he has appropriated elements from folk traditions, pop and other sources and synthesized them with western classical tradition to create music whose simple surface transparency belies deeper complexities, conflicts and contradictions. His acclaimed opera, The Food of Love, written with playwright Terrence McNally, has been televised nationally for Public Broadcasting Service’s Great Performances series, and his GRAMMY®-nominated Mountain Songs for flute and guitar has become one of the most performed works of the genre. His commission from twenty-seven wind ensembles across the US, The End of Knowing, has been hailed as a unique and significant addition to the repertoire.
Beaser’s works have been recorded for London/Argo, EMI, Naxos, New World Records, Innova, Bridge, Summit, CRI and MusicMasters. He has been guest lecturer at major universities and conservatories throughout the US and Europe and has served as co-issue editor for the Contemporary Music Review ‘New Tonality’ issue. He has served as trustee of numerous institutions including the American Academy in Rome and The MacDowell Colony. His music is published exclusively by Schott Music Corporation, New York.
