OM15: Shershow-Peña JpegsDescription
OM 15 composers Tom Johnson and Paweł Mykietyn (l to r) taken during the festivities surrounding the first concert of the 15th Other Minds Festival, at the Jewish Community Center in San Francisco CA., on March 5, 2010.Tom Johnson, born in 1939, worked as a music critic for the Village Voice for many years before moving to Paris in 1983 where he has since largely devoted himself to composition. He is considered a minimalist composer and his works are often based on simple scales or logical, mathematical progressions or combinations of a select number of notes. However Johnson has produced a large body of work, including a number of operas and compositions for orchestra or large ensemble, as well as a variety of radio pieces.
Paweł Mykietyn is a Polish composer and clarinetist, whose works, already widely popular in his home country, are quickly gaining a reputation throughout Europe, and with his appearance at OM 15, the United States as well. He was still a student at the Academy of Music in Warsaw in 1993, when he had his first debut at the world renowned Warsaw Autumn Festival, and has since then become a bit of a mainstay at what is, one of Europe’s most prestigious forums for contemporary classical music. In addition to his composing, Mykietyn has continued his career as a clarinetist, often performing with the Nonstrom Ensemble, a quartet specializing in modern works which he founded.
