About Me |
|
| Oliver has just received the 2006 Mellon Jazz Legacy Award at the Kennedy Center Oct 13,06 . He is also a recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship, Lake is one of the most heavily commissioned composers to emerge from the jazz tradition. He’s the most-commissioned composer in the history of the eminently respected organization Meet The Composer, most recently completing a three-year project funded by its New Residencies Program that resulted in six new musical works, a theater piece, three dance pieces and extended educational residencies in New Jersey and Tucson, Arizona; along with the establishment of Common Thread, an annual series of concerts featuring gifted female artists. Other commissions have been received from the Library of Congress, the Rockefeller Foundation ASCAP, the International Association for Jazz Education, Composers Forum, the McKim Foundation, the Mary Flagler Cary Trust and the Lila Wallace Arts Partners Program. In addition to the ensembles mentioned earlier, others who have commissioned works are the Wheeling Symphony, New York New Music Ensemble, and Pulse Percussion Ensemble of New York. Oliver is often specially cited for his numerous endeavors with female artists and performers, to the extent of being called “The Feminist Composer” in an arts course taught at Wesleyan University. Currently, in addition to performing,composing and touring with his Steel Quartet, Big Band, the WSQ and Trio 3, Oliver continues to collaborate with Mary Redhouse, Flux String Quartet, Chinese Poet Huang Xiang, N.J .Tap Ensemble, Patricia Williams, and various artists in many disciplines. He is currently developing a new solo theater piece and recently completed several tours with one of his many groups.
