BIO:
The guitar is featured in most of Michael's recent music, and he's written for three Guitar Foundation of America Solo Competition winners. Recent music includes a 12-movement piece for Martha Masters, two pieces for the Cavatina Duo (guitarist Denis Azabagic and flutist Eugenia Moliner,) and a duo for guitarist Joe Hagedorn and violinist Leslie Shank. Other pieces include "Caught in the Headlights," which will soon be released by the Newman & Oltman Guitar Duo on MSR Classics; "Four Tales: A Chamber Concerto for Guitar," which won a first prize in the 19th Annual NACUSA Composition Competition; and "Frets Vs. Fretless" for guitar duo and string quartet, which is programmed often, including a performance arranged by David Tanenbaum.
Michael Karmon (b. 1969) spent his formative years in Israel and returned to the United States in 1986. He has performed extensively as a guitarist in several styles and with a variety of ensembles, but now composes exclusively. Michael holds a doctorate in composition from the University of Minnesota and now lives in California.
