Biography
Born in Vermont in 1981 and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, New York–based composer Nico Muhly graduated from Columbia University with a degree in English Literature. In 2004, he received a Masters in Music from the Juilliard School, where he studied under Christopher Rouse and John Corigliano. Nico is a member of the Icelandic music collective/record label Bedroom Community.
A former boy chorister, Muhly has composed extensively for choir, including commissions from the Clare College Choir and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. New York’s Saint Thomas Church commissioned and performed his Bright Mass with Canons, later recorded on their American Voices album and on the Los Angeles Master Chorale’s all-Muhly Decca debut, A Good Understanding.
His orchestral works have been premiered by the American Symphony Orchestra, Aurora Orchestra (Seeing is Believing), the Boston Pops (Wish You Were Here), the New York Philharmonic (Detailed Instructions) and the Chicago Symphony (Step Team). He is currently working on a new quintuple concerto commissioned by the piano-playing ensemble known as The 5 Browns.
Film credits include Muhly’s scores for Joshua (2007), and Best Picture nominee The Reader (2008). With designer/illustrator Maira Kalman, Muhly composed a vocal work based on Strunk & White’s The Elements of Style, and he has worked with choreographer Benjamin Millepied to create new pieces for the American Ballet Theater (From Here On Out) and the Paris Opéra Ballet(Triade)

His 'drones' triptych is brilliant. Easily one of the most challenging albums this year.
