Orchestral Recapitulations |
|
Born in Spain, of Russian and German descent, Igor Korneitchouk emigrated with his family to Cleveland, Ohio, when he was a small child. He received his Master's from the Cleveland Institute of Music, then packed up all his belongings and headed West in a U-Haul towed by a Toyota for a Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego. In 1989 he received a NEH fellowship to study Jazz at Yale University. He has been awarded grants from UC Regents and AMC for the performance of his Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra, "Desert Flowers." In 1997 his Viola Concerto was performed and recorded in Prague. He oversaw a recording in January of 2002 in the UK where Gerard Schwarz conducted the Royal Liverpool Orchestra in another work of his. | |
The composer (well, that's what he used to look like!) at a performance of his Viola Concerto by the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra
of Prague. Igor Korneitchouk is currently a Professor at San Diego Mesa
College. Visit him at his home page! |
From an American Record Guide review of his first CD by Old King Cole Productions, The Virtual Performer: "Korneitchouk writes with facility in such a dizzying variety of styles - tonal, serial, minimalist, and much else - that one can almost certainly find something to enjoy.... His style is as virtual as his method." |
