A few months ago we did a short interview with Alistair Coleman, and had a wonderful time getting to know this young composer. We were even more thrilled to learn he received a coveted spot on From the Top, the "nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating the stories, talents, and character of young classically-trained musicians." In his radio spot, Coleman takes us on his journey from beginning piano lessons, to composing a musical, to finding his first composition teacher. The show also includes his piece, Images from Fallingwater, performed by students of the San Francisco Conservatory.
Alistair Coleman
This month we got to know composer Alistair Coleman, currently in his first year at The Juilliard School, and the youngest composer as yet published by E. C. Schirmer. His career as a composer and musician is off and running, and it's one we're very excited to follow.
How did you become involved with music?
The National Philharmonic named Alistair Coleman the Young Composer-in-Residence for the orchestra’s 2017-18 season. The National Philharmonic commissioned and performed Coleman's Of Radiance and Light in November 2016. As part of his residency, another original work will be premiered in April 2018.
