Anthony Donofrio

WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC PRIZE FOR EXCELLENCE IN COMPOSITION 2011

Composer's Biography

Picture
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Anthony Donofrio received his Bachelors and Masters degrees from Kent State University, and is currently completing the Ph.D. in Music Composition at the University of Iowa. His principal teachers have been David Gompper, Frank Wiley, and Paul Schoenfield, with additional studies John Eaton and Thomas Janson. Currently, he is finishing his doctoral dissertation, “In Violent Silence: A Double Concerto for Two Percussion and Wind Ensemble”, which will be premiered in April by the University of Iowa Symphony Band. He is also working on a large 20-minute Piano Sonata for pianist and friend Casey Rafn. Recently, his sextet “Twitch” was performed by the University of Iowa Center for New Music at the Midwest Composers Symposium in Cincinnati, Ohio, and by the Kent State University New Music Ensemble. Last February, his chamber piece “Obituary” was premiered by the Five-One Ensemble at the Cleveland Public Theater, with choreography by Sarah Lawrence-Sucato and Carly Dorman. Described as “alternately spiky and ethereal” by critic Donald Rosenberg, the work was Anthony’s first attempt at a piece for dancers and musicians. Future projects include a collaboration with Mezzo-Soprano Clara Osowski for a setting poet Sara London’s “Why the Water", a second Symphony (also with Clara Osowski), and an evening-long composition for percussion quartet.
