| Stephen Feigenbaum is an award-winning 24-year-old composer of music for the concert hall and the theater. When he was 19, his Serenade for Strings was recorded by the Cincinnati Pops under Erich Kunzel and released on a CD by Telarc. Stephen is a past winner of two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer awards and the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble competition. In 2012, he won the Albany Symphony Orchestra's Composer to Center Stage competition, which resulted in a reading of his work and mentoring by John Corigliano. The National Public Radio show From the Top has featured Stephen as a composer, and he has appeared as an a cappella singer on The Martha Stewart Show and NBC's The Sing-Off. Stephen's music has been heard at Lincoln Center and Le Poisson Rouge in New York, Jordan Hall and the Hatch Shell in Boston, the Green Room in San Francisco, and in several international venues. It has received performances by musicians including the JACK Quartet, TwoSense (Lisa Moore and Ashley Bathgate), and Grammy-nominee violinist Caroline Goulding. Stephen was the 2010 ASCAP Foundation Young Composer Fellow at the Bowdoin International Music Festival and is a past fellow at the Norfolk (Connecticut) Chamber Music Festival. At Yale, Stephen has created several theatrical productions that incorporate all-original instrumental music, stage lighting, elaborate sets and media effects, tied together with loose narratives to tell musical stories that have attracted diverse audiences. He has also written the music for two full-length original musicals at Yale and has orchestrated, music directed, and conducted others. A native of Winchester, Massachusetts, Stephen majored in music at Yale College and received a Master of Music in 2013 from the Yale School of Music. He has studied with Ezra Laderman, Martin Bresnick, Christopher Theofanidis, Samuel Adler, Claude Baker, Kathryn Alexander, and Rodney Lister. Upcoming performances Slow Dances for double bass and piano was performed by Michael Cameron (double bass) and Casey Dierlam (piano) on Thursday, June 6, 3 PM, at Kilbourn Hall, Eastman School of Music, for the convention of the International Society of Bassists.
