Dylan Findley, Komponist, Kansas City, Missouri

Vita

Dylan Findley (1991) is a recent graduate of Brigham Young University in Music Composition/Theory.  He sees music as a gateway to inspiration, energy, and expression of intangible truths, and as such, he explores new ways to channel and focus music's power.  In seeking for truth, his music is inspired by religion, nature, culture, and life experience.  Ab Herbst 2019 arbeitet er an seiner Doktorarbeit in Musical Arts an der Universität von Kansas City. Durch seine Komposition und Uraufführung (s. u.) hat er zum deutschen HLT-Kulturgeschehen beigetragen und plant, dies in den nächsten Monaten durch ein größeres Oratorium über den Gedichtband "Come" von Johannsson zu tun.
