"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.

Carter Sandwich

I didn’t think you’d be hearing from me this week, but I’ve just found out that my Child’s Play will be performed tomorrow night at the Bowdoin International Music Festival. Studzinski Hall, 7:30 pm. I’m actually going to be an Elliott Carter sandwich –– Child’s Play will be framed by two of Carter’s etudes for timpani. Ironically, the timpanist will be a former composition student of mine, Joshua Gates. Sorry I won't be around to hear it.

You can read about the performance, part of the Gamper Festival of Contemporary Music, here.
