Koji Nakano
Award-winning
composer Koji Nakano’s music reflects the relationship between beauty, form and
imperfection through the formality of music. In 2008, he became the first
composer to receive the S&R Washington Award Grand Prize. Since then, Dr.
Nakano has been recognized as one of the major voices among Asian composers of
his generation. His portrait concert has been presented at the Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts, at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York, among others.
In the winter quarter of 2013, he was a visiting faculty member at the
University of California at Santa Cruz, where he taught world music
composition. As a guest professor, he has previously taught composition at
Taipei National University of the Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, and
Seoul National University in South Korea. In 2016, Dr. Nakano was the Scripps
Erma Taylor O’Brien Distinguished Visiting Professor at Scripps College in USA.
As the co-founder of the Asian Young Musicians’ Connection (AYMC), Dr. Nakano
regularly promotes new music by commissioning emerging composers to create
music for worldwide professional musicians for its annual concerts, lectures
and workshops. He is currently the Head of International Affairs on the Faculty
of Music and Performing Arts at Burapha University in Thailand, where he also
works as a full-time faculty member in composition.
