Robert Denham
A Bay Area native, Robert Denham writes music that borrows from an eclectic array of sources including jazz, medieval chant, and everything in between. He has worked with a wide range of ensembles including Pacific Symphony, the Kansas State University Wind Ensemble, and Modern Brass Quintet. Recordings include “It’s Alive” (on Spotify: six works for low brass featuring Vancouver Symphony Orchestra bass trombonist Ilan Morgenstern), “New Music for Flute and Piano” (Cambrian Symphony Orchestra flutist Brian Bensing), and “Sutter Creek: 21 Songs for Baritone and Piano (Tyler Thompson and Emily Helvey). One of his most recent projects, A Bachs of Suites: 60 Solos and Duets for Low Brass is endorsed by members of the New York Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and Pacific Symphony. Dr. Denham won the American Prize for composition in the Wind Ensemble/Band division in 2018, and won again in the Chamber Music division in 2019. He holds degrees in composition from UCLA and the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, with a BM in trumpet performance from Biola University. He currently serves as Professor of Theory and Composition at the Biola Conservatory of Music. |
