About Liam
Fed by his insatiable creativity and inventive spirit, Liam Cummins writes music that nods to the past and dives into the future. His many wide-ranging works include a string quartet honoring child Holocaust victims, a forty-minute tone poem for orchestra grappling with the global pandemic, a piano quartet highlighting the accelerating effects of climate change, and even a fanfare using only household objects as instruments.
Liam's music has been recognized widely for its nuanced craft, inventive orchestration and broad emotional range. He is the 2022 YoungArts Gold Winner in Classical Music, awarded by the National Foundation for the Advancement of Artists. He is also a three-time finalist for the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, a winner of the 2022 American Prize in composition, and a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts nominee. An enthusiastic advocate of concert music, Liam strives to make the art form accessible and impactful for as many people as possible – especially those not frequently exposed to it.
Liam is pursuing his Bachelor of Music degree at The Juilliard School, studying with John Corigliano.
