David Dominique
David Dominique is a composer/performer living in Richmond, VA. His output includes jazz, chamber music, electronic music, rock and theater. His recent albums for jazz octet, Mask (2018) and Ritual (2013) have been praised in the Boston Globe, Downbeat Magazine, Jazz Times and Los Angeles Times, who called it a “as unpredictable as it is approachable.” He has also composed and conducted theater works, including a live score for LA production, Starcrosser’s Cut, about which the Hollywood Reporter wrote “the advanced tonalities harmonize euphoniously, if with a free-ranging dread.”
Dominique has written pieces for soprano Tony Arnold, Talea Ensemble, ECCE, Ensemble L’Arsenale, the Lydian String Quartet, and the Radnofsky Saxophone Quartet, among others. Dominique holds a BA from NYU, an MM from Cal State, Northridge, and an MFA and PhD from Brandeis, where he studied with David Rakowski and Eric Chasalow.
