"There are no two points so distant from one another that they cannot be connected by a single straight line -- and an infinite number of curves."
Composer Lawrence Dillon has produced an extensive body of work, from brief solo pieces to a full-length opera. Partially deaf from birth, Dillon grew up in a bustling household with seven older siblings. He began composing as soon as he started piano lessons at the age of seven. In 1985, he became the youngest composer to earn a doctorate at The Juilliard School, and was shortly thereafter appointed to the Juilliard faculty. Dillon is now Composer in Residence at the North Carolina School of the Arts, where he has served as Music Director of the Contemporary Ensemble, Assistant Dean of Performance and Dean of the School of Music.

Dillon's music, in the words of American Record Guide, is "lovely...austere...vivid and impressive." His works are recorded by Albany Records, Channel Crossings and CRS, and published by American Composers Editions. He is represented by Jeffrey James Arts Consulting.

Notes Part 7: Another Performance

Tonight, shortly after the Russian premiere of Amadeus ex machina, another piece of mine, called Devotion, will get its NYC premiere. Students from the North Carolina School of the Arts will play the piece in Lincoln Center's Clark Theater. I'm not sure of the exact time.

Sorry I can't be there, but I wouldn't have missed this week for anything. I only wish I had time to write about everything I've seen: last night I went to the St. Petersburg Opera's production of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia, and right now I'm on my way to a Stravinsky double bill (Le Rossignol and Oedipus Rex) at the Mariinsky Theater. I will have a lot of reporting to catch up on when I get home.
