Christopher Stark

Owing to the bold and unpredictable path a contemporary classical composer's path can unfold onto in the 21st century, Christopher Stark's work takes root in centuries of tradition and trailblazing alike. His compositions balance influences of European masters and 20th century upstarts like Aaron Copland; he has incorporated modern electronic technique and sound collaging in his collected works; and has even penned work for a rapturously received independent film.
