Short bio Lukas Foss
Full biography Lukas Foss
Lukas Foss was an American composer, pianist, and conductor. He was born on August 15, 1922, in Berlin, Germany, and died on February 1, 2009, in New York, United States. Foss was known for his innovative and experimental style of composition, which incorporated elements of jazz, rock and roll, and avant-garde music.
Foss moved to the United States in 1937, where he studied music at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. He later became a student of renowned composer and teacher Paul Hindemith at Yale University. Foss worked as a conductor and pianist during his early years, which gave him invaluable experience in orchestration and composition.
Foss's early works were influenced by the Romantic music of the late 19th century, but he soon developed his own distinct style, characterized by complex rhythms, dissonant harmonies, and a wide variety of textures. He often combined traditional orchestral instruments with guitar, bass, and percussion, which gave his music a unique sound.
One of Foss's most famous works is "Time Cycle," a piece for soprano and orchestra that was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered in 1960. The piece was highly experimental and incorporated electronic sounds and spoken text in addition to traditional orchestral instruments.
Foss continued to experiment with new forms and styles throughout his career, earning him a reputation as one of the most innovative composers of his time. He was also a champion of new music and helped to promote the work of many young composers through his role as conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
In addition to his work as a composer, Foss was a respected educator and taught at various universities throughout his career, including UCLA and the Tanglewood Music Center. He also served as the director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra from 1991 to 1996.
Overall, Lukas Foss was a groundbreaking composer who pushed the boundaries of traditional music and created a unique style that inspired many composers who followed in his footsteps.
