The music of Boston-based composer Richard Cornell deftly explores the nature of art and collaboration, highlighting the latent opportunities for artistic license and interpretation within music. His cross-disciplinary efforts combining visual elements with his works have led to installations, art works in virtual reality, and audio/video projects, one of which is included on his latest album TRACER on Ravello Records.
Cornell’s innovation and ingenuity have led to myriad commissions, and his works for chamber ensemble, orchestra, computer, and soloist have been widely performed domestically and abroad. His collaborative projects have been the focus of international and regional attention, including features in the New York Times and WGBH.
A Boston native, Cornell was trained at the Longy School of Music, the New England Conservatory, and the Eastman School (Ph.D.). Now a longtime member of the Boston University faculty, he has also served on the faculties of the Berkshire Music Center, MIT, and the Longy School.
