Alvin Curran
Alvin Curran has realized a long and fruitful career as a composer/performer/installation artist, writer, and teacher in the American experimental music tradition. Born in Providence in 1938, he studied with Ron Nelson, Elliott Carter and Mel Powell, and co-founded the group Musica Elettronica Viva in 1966 in Rome where he currently resides. His music, whether chamber works, radio-art, large-scale environmental theater or solo performance, embraces all sounds, all spaces, and all people.
