Evan Ziporyn makes music at the crossroads between genres and cultures, east and west. He studied at Eastman, Yale & UC Berkeley with Joseph Schwantner, Martin Bresnick, & Gerard Grisey. A chance hearing of gamelan led him to Bali in 1981; he returned there on a Fulbright in 1987, and has since sojourned there repeatedly to study, perform, and collaborate. Also in 1987, Evan performed a clarinet solo at the First Bang on a Can Marathon in New York. He co-founded the All-stars in 1992. Ziporyn joined the MIT faculty in 1990 and is currently Kenan Sahin Distinguished Professor. There he founded Gamelan Galak Tika in 1993, beginning a series of groundbreaking compositions for gamelan & western instruments. These include three evening-length works, 2001’s ShadowBang, the American Repertory Theater’s 2004’s Oedipus Rex, and 2009’s A House in Bali, an opera which joins western singers with Balinese traditional performers, and the All-stars with a full gamelan. It received its world premiere in Bali that summer and its New York premiere at BAM Next Wave in October, 2010. As a clarinetist, Ziporyn recorded the definitive version of Steve Reich’s multi-clarinet NY Counterpoint in 1996, and shared in the Reich Ensemble’s Best Chamber Music Performance Grammy in 1998. In 2001 his solo clarinet CD, This is Not A Clarinet, made Top Ten lists across the country. His playing provided the soundtrack for the PBS film Tailenders and was featured in Tan Dun’s soundtrack Fallen and David Lang’s (Untitled). He has also recorded with Paul Simon, Matthew Shipp, Bob Moses and Ethel. As a composer, he has been commissioned by Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road & Carnegie Hall, Kronos Quartet, American Composers Orchestra, Maya Beiser, So Percussion, Wu Man, Orkest de Volharding, Gamelan Semara Ratih, and the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. He received the 2007 USA Artists Walker Award and the 2004 American Academy of Arts and Letters Lieberson Fellowship. Recordings of his works have also been released on Cantaloupe, CRI, Koch, Innova, Naxos, New Albion, New World, and Sony Classical.
