"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.

I’m having a remarkable time here in Michigan at the MUSIC NOW ’07 Festival. Anthony Iannacone is a wonderful musician and a real gentleman, and we’ve discovered that we have a lot of mutual acquaintances. First day here (Wednesday), I was treated to two fine pieces by his students, Joshua Bornfield and Whitney Prince, on a program of diverse music, stylistically speaking, including composers Nikola Resanovic, Alberto Ginastera, Steve Reich and Iannacone himself.

Last night was a concert of my chamber music, along with two other student pieces, and tonight is a concert of large ensemble work. I’ll have more detail in the coming days, but I’m squeezing this post in between dinner and the concert, so this is it for now.
