Austin Shadduck

[Image of Austin Shadduck.] Austin Shadduck is a New York–based musician and composer. His first compositions were written in high school, and the thrill of writing music and hearing it performed live guided his college experience. He graduated from the University of Rochester in 2008 with a BA in Music, additional training at the Eastman School of Music, and a number of compositions under his belt. After graduation he relocated to Madison, Wisconsin to work as a Digital Sheet Music Specialist (sheet music engraver) for Musicnotes.com. Also in Madison, a growing interest in Japanese history and music led him to the shakuhachi, an end–blown bamboo flute, which he studies with Michael Chikuzen Gould, a Grand Master of the instrument. He currently resides in New York City and is pursuing a master's degree in music composition at Queens College, CUNY under the guidance of Bruce Saylor while working part–time as a freelance engraver. He has received additional instruction from Jeff Nichols and Bright Sheng, completed a wind ensemble commission for Binghamton High School, and had his chamber work, Freeflow Phoenix, premiered by the Second Instrumental Unit.
