Richard Cameron-Wolfe

Cameron-Wolfe began formal composition studies with Bernhard Heiden (in the Hindemith tradition) and later studied with John Eaton, Juan Orrego-Salas, and Iannis Xenakis. Mentors included visual artist Robert Kostka and composer/astrologer Dane Rudhyar.

After leaving his doctorate in 1974, he briefly taught at the University of Wisconsin, then lived 27 years in New York City. There he composed for modern dance, premiered works at Carnegie Recital Hall and Environ, and created micro-operas and vocal music using his own poetry. More recently, he has explored microtonal music, inspired by Julian Carrillo’s Sonido Trece.
