My Take

Eric Ewazen is a name I associate with the unsung heroes of contemporary classical music. A Cleveland-born composer and longtime teacher, he's written a body of work that brass and chamber players genuinely love to perform, which to me is the highest compliment a composer can earn. So much new music chases novelty for its own sake, but I get the sense Ewazen writes to be played and enjoyed. His decades shaping students as an educator may be just as important a legacy as the scores themselves. I respect musicians who give back through teaching, and his career reflects a real devotion to the craft.
