Liam Cummins writes music that builds bridges, bringing wide-ranging ideas and people together. Fusing diverse materials and sound-worlds, he seeks new windows into age-old traditions.
His music has been widely recognized for its incisive craft, nuanced orchestration and deep emotional expression. He has received recent commissions from Orchestra of St. Luke's, New York Youth Symphony, Orchestra Lumos, The Juilliard School for AXIOM, and Aspen Contemporary Ensemble, among other orchestras, ensembles and soloists across the United States and beyond. He is a recipient of a Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, an ASCAP Morton Gould Award, and the YoungArts Gold award in Classical Music.
This year his music premieres at The Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium, Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, 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.
