Events & Calendars A Composition Masterclass with Eric Nathan

Hone your craft with celebrated composer Eric Nathan at this free masterclass. This event is open to the public and will be held at the Center for Humanistic Inquiry in Amherst College’s Frost Library. No advance registration is required.

Nathan’s music has been called “as diverse as it is arresting,” with a “constant vein of ingenuity and expressive depth” (San Francisco Chronicle), “thoughtful and inventive” (The New Yorker), and “clear, consistently logical no matter how surprising the direction, and emotionally expressive without being simplistic or sentimental” (New York Classical Review). Nathan is a 2013 Rome Prize Fellow and 2014 Guggenheim Fellow, and has garnered acclaim internationally through performances by Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic’s Scharoun Ensemble, soprano Dawn Upshaw and violinist Jennifer Koh; at the New York Philharmonic’s 2014 and 2016 Biennials; and at the Tanglewood, Aspen, Aldeburgh, Cabrillo, Yellow Barn and MATA festivals. Nathan currently serves as assistant professor of music in composition-theory at Brown University.
