TIMOTHY LONG

Timothy Long is a pianist and conductor of Muscogee Creek and Choctaw descent who is Music Director of Opera at the Eastman School of Music. 



I believe that some of the greatest music the world has ever heard has yet to be composed. So, when I have a visceral response to music from composers who are alive, I do all I can to encourage them to continue creating. I have been so inspired by the works of Mason Bates, Missy Mazzoli and Gregory Spears, and it is my absolute joy to introduce the world to this collection of their gorgeous, emotive, meaningful songs. - Brian Mulligan
