Episode 014 - Tyson Davis - Musical Depictions of Life
We have traveled back to America this episode with an interview with a young, up-and-coming composer from North Carolina, Tyson Davis. He began composing music at 8 and just graduated from the North Carolina School for the Arts where he made some seriously big waves with his music and artistry while studying with Lawrence Dillon. He began his first year of college at Juilliard this year and has many, many accomplishments. In 2019, he worked with the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America and Antonio Pappano to premiere his work, Delicate Tension, that had been commissioned by the American Embassy in Berlin for the 30th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He also recently won the 68th BMI Student Composer Awards as well as the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award. I met this welcoming and warm young man while doing a deep dive on Instagram. His music is beautiful, terse, passionate, and gifted beyond his years. Like myself, he is passionate about social equality and we are going to talk to him about depicting the real world in a musical form.
