NEC Festival: Artist Talk with John Musto

Composer and pianist John Musto’s activities encompass orchestral, operatic, instrumental, chamber, and vocal music, as well as music for film and television. His music embraces many strains of contemporary American concert music, enriched by sophisticated inspirations from jazz, ragtime, and the blues. As a pianist, he frequently performs as a soloist and chamber musician in a broad range of repertoires, including his own piano concerti. He appears frequently with his wife, soprano Amy Burton, in recitals and cabaret. Musto was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his orchestral song cycle Dove Sta Amore and is a recipient of two Emmy awards, two CINE Awards, a Rockefeller Fellowship at Bellagio, an American Academy of Arts and Letters award, and a Distinguished Alumnus award from the Manhattan School of Music.

This event is part of the 2024 NEC Festival — a weeklong series taking place from November 10-17 featuring performances, workshops, and more. Explore all of the festival's events here.
