About Liam
Liam Cummins is a New York-based composer. His music embraces both grand gesture and subtle nuance, both vibrant lyricism and bitter dissonance, both high drama and piercing simplicity. Knitting together wide-reaching materials and sound-worlds, he seeks new windows into age-old traditions.
His music has been widely recognized for its incisive craft and emotional sensitivity. He has received recent commissions from Orchestra of St. Luke's, New York Youth Symphony, The Juilliard School, Orchestra Lumos and Aspen Contemporary Ensemble among other orchestras, ensembles and soloists across the United States and beyond. He is a recipient of a 2024 Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a winner of a 2023 ASCAP Morton Gould Award, and the 2022 YoungArts Gold Winner in Classical Music. This year his music premieres at The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium, the Aspen Music Festival and other venues around the country.
Liam is pursuing his Bachelor of Music degree at The Juilliard School, studying with John Corigliano.
