Ron Fein (born December 27, 1952) is an American composer in modern classical music.[1] He has published 15 albums and made other commissions and performances.[2][3][4]
He earned his BA in Music Composition from Dominican University, with graduate work at California Institute of the Arts, where he studied with Earle Brown and Morton Subotnick. He later pursued an MA at Goddard College.
He has published over 15 albums and received commissions from the San Francisco Opera Center, with premieres from Li-Chan Chen for Pantoums (1985) and from Jacob Will for Songs for Eve (1985). His works have been performed by renowned ensembles such as the Kronos Quartet and Gregg Smith Singers.[5] His albums concentrate on his noncooperative ensemble, a type of poly-temporal music breaking with the constraints of tempo, meter, verticality, and tonality.[6]
