In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

John Musto

Living in: United States
Composer and pianist John Musto is that all too rare exemplar, the classical composer whose work is both critically acclaimed and widely performed, who has also distinguished himself as an instrumental soloist and chamber musician. His activities encompass virtually every genre: orchestral and operatic, solo, chamber and vocal music, concerti, and music for film and television.

His music embraces many strains of contemporary American concert music, enriched by sophisticated inspirations from jazz, ragtime and the blues.

These qualities lend a strong profile to his vocal music, which ranges from a series of operas - Volpone, Later the Same Evening, Bastianello and The Inspector - to a catalogue of art songs that is among the finest of any living American composer.
