Huck Hodge Hodge, Huck

Huck Hodge’s music explores the concrete poetics of organized sound, perceptual illusion, and the boundary between intention and intuition. He is a recipient of the Rome Prize, the Gaudeamus International Composers Award, and the Franco Donatoni Prize, and has received a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as other awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Fromm Foundation (伯利亞斯科基金會). He has received numerous commissions from organizations including the American Composers Forum, the MATA Festival in New York, the Barlow Endowment, the German Gesellschaft für Neue Musik, and Dutch government agencies. The New York Times has described Hodge’s music as “pleasingly fresh, full of sparks and thunder.” His collaborators include Ensemble Modern, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Asko|Schönberg ensemble, Divertimento Ensemble of Milan, and New York’s Talea Ensemble and JACK Quartet. With support from the Mellon Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Hodge studied composition at Columbia University and the Stuttgart University of Music. He is currently Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of Washington.
