Arthur Levering

Composer

“There are many striking things about Levering’s music, the most important and least describable being that its motivation seems very natural. Every scrap of it is clearly, audibly music of high intellectual integrity and artful, skillful conception, design, and execution. But like all good music, these things are the means to a more humane purpose, one whose descriptors include words like exciting, lyrical, and powerful…
Here (is) a sound marriage of inventive skill and powerful aesthetic motivation, leaving one satisfied in the head, the gut, and the heart. “

—Michael Manning, Boston Globe
