Today we speak with Rob Deemer from the State University of New York in Fredonia. He is a music composition professor and head of the composition department at SUNY Fredonia. He is also the founder and director of the Institute of Composer Diversity. We talk about his musical education, and what inspired him to create the database of names and pieces. We discuss labels, expansions, and future goals as well.
