Andrew Waggoner

In this episode, I chat with Professor Andrew Waggoner. Professor Waggoner is a composer whose vivid, dramatic style has earned praise from The New Yorker as "the gifted practitioner of a complex but dramatic and vividly colored style." His music has been commissioned and performed by major ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Academy of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, JACK Quartet, Corigliano Quartet, and international groups such as Ensemble Accroche Note and the Rudersdal Kammersolister. A recipient of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Academy Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, and Fromm Foundation commission, his recordings include Quantum Memoir on Bridge Records and Terror and Memory on Albany Records. He currently teaches composition and improvisation at Duke University and serves as Co-Artistic Director of the Weekend of Chamber Music.
