Michael-Thomas Foumai

Michael-Thomas Foumai has "proven himself as one of the most exciting new voices to emerge from the current generation of young American composers" (Aspen Music Festival). His music has been described as "vibrant...cinematic" (New York Times), “astonishing, climate-changing, lionhearted” (Rappahannock News), "full of color, drama and emotion" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) and "exciting, energetic and full of vivid passages and picturesque moods" (Honolulu Advertiser). Michael has recently been named the Music Teachers National Association Composer of the Year and was selected by Maestro Lorin Maazel as winner of the Composer's Forum Competition at the Castleton Festival.
