Award-winning
composer Koji Nakano’s compositions
reflect the relationship between beauty, form, and imperfection through the
formality of music. He is recognized as one of the major voices among Asian
composers of his generation.
Dr. Nakano obtained his Bachelor’s Degree
and Master’s Degree in composition from the New England Conservatory of Music
in Boston. From 2002 to 2003, he studied with Dutch composer Louis Andriessen in Amsterdam and at the Royal Conservatory
of The Hague
as the Japanese Government Overseas Study Program Artist. In 2006, he received
his Ph.D. in composition from the University of California at San Diego.
In
2008, Dr. Nakano became the first composer to
receive the S&R Washington Award Grand Prize. His portrait concert has been
presented at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and at Tenri Cultural
Institute of New York, among other venues. In the winter quarter of 2013, Dr.
Nakano was a visiting faculty member at the University of California at Santa
Cruz, where he taught world music composition. He has also been a guest
professor in composition at Taipei National University of the Arts, National
Taiwan University of Arts, and Seoul National University. In 2016, he was named
the Scripps Erma Taylor O’Brien Distinguished Visiting Professor at
Scripps College in the U.S.
Co-founder
of the Asian Young Musicians’ Connection (AYMC), Dr. Nakano
commissions emerging composers to create music that is performed by worldwide
professional musicians at AYMC’s annual concerts, lectures, and workshops.
Currently, he is the Head of International Affairs for the Faculty of Music and
Performing Arts at Burapha University in Thailand, where he teaches composition
as a full-time faculty member. At Burapha, he also directs the Experimental
Thai Music Laboratory for Young Composers.
