HAHN David

David Hahn is an eclectic composer who creates diverse styles of music ranging from the experimental sounds of electronically-processed guitars to real-life sound collages to instrumental and vocal music featuring traditional instruments and voices. His education took place at Brown University, The New England Conservatory of Music, The Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and Stanford University where he received the doctorate in historical musicology in 1993. Hahn began his career in music in the 1980's as an active performer (on lute, guitar and mandolin), and performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony and Opera Orchestras, Boston Musica Viva, the Seattle Symphony, Musica nel Chiostro in Florence, and the City of London Festival. In the 1980's he co-founded the Boston Renaissance Ensemble which performed widely in the US and Europe and received the Noah Greenberg Award for "excellence in the performance of Early Music" from the American Musicological Society. He served as a faculty member in the Early Music Department at The New England Conservatory and at several independent schools. David Hahn is a very prolific composer and many of his pieces have been commissioned and performed by established professional ensembles and soloists throughout the United States, Canada, Chile and several European countries. His music has been released on Centaur Records.
