NICK DIBERARDINO SIGNS WORKS WITH BLACK DOT PRESS

We're so thrilled to announce that Nick DiBerardino, Composer has signed Ornithopter, 27 Morningside, and a new work for Saxophone and Electronics to Black Dot Press for publication! Read more about Nick and his work below:

Nick DiBerardino is a composer who talks with his hands. His music embodies a deep enthusiasm for the fantastic stories of everyday life and an endless fascination with science, literature, art, history, and the people around him. Nick's language is wide-ranging and story-driven, conveying "richly textured, multilayered" sound worlds (Minnesota Star Tribune) with a visceral, gestural immediacy. All Nick's energies as a composer, educator, teaching artist, and public speaker flow from his belief that music can bring people into unified communities.
