About Liam
Liam Cummins writes music that nods to the past and dives into the future. Fed by his many passions and interests, his wide-ranging works embrace eclecticism, polarity and lyricism, seeking new windows into age-old traditions.
Liam's music has been widely recognized for its nuanced craft, inventive orchestration and broad emotional range. 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 Young Composer Award, and the 2022 YoungArts Gold Winner in Classical Music. In 2022 he was the only young composer in the country nominated for consideration as a United States Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
His music has been recognized by organizations including Tribeca New Music, Orchestra of St. Luke's, New York Youth Symphony, American Composers Orchestra, National Young Composers Challenge, Juilliard's AXIOM Competition, the New England Philharmonic, Icarus Quartet, and NPR's The American Sound. An enthusiastic advocate for 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.
