Stephen Feigenbaum is a 21-year-old composer from Winchester, Massachusetts, who draws on aspects of popular music, from the grittiest to the most lyrical, to create choral, orchestral, and ensemble works that make complexity accessible.

In the summer of 2010, he was the ASCAP Foundation Young Composer Fellow at the Bowdoin International Music Festival in Brunswick, Maine. Other fellowships have been received for study in the Norfolk (Connecticut) Chamber Music Festival and the International Summer Music Academy in Michelstadt, Germany.

In 2010, Stephen received honorable mention in the 2010 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards. Stephen has also won national composition competitions sponsored by the New York Art Ensemble, the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, and the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, and international competitions sponsored by the Vancouver Chamber Choir, and the Cambridge Chamber Singers. Other awards have come from the International Society of Bassists, ASCAP, and youngARTs.

His compositions have been performed in venues including Jordan Hall and the Hatch Shell in Boston, the Green Room in San Francisco, Lincoln Center in New York, and in cities from Vancouver to Berlin to Prague. One of his compositions was recorded by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, directed by Erich Kunzel, on a CD released by Telarc in 2009.

Stephen conceived, co-produces, conducts, and composes many of the works performed by SIC InC. This chamber group of Yale undergraduates presents sold-out shows of new music in a multimedia setting.

Stephen will be a senior at Yale and has studied with composers including Kathryn Alexander, Martin Bresnick, Michael Gandolfi, Samuel Adler, and Claude Baker. He sings bass in Yale's Whiffenpoofs, the nation's oldest college a cappella group.
