Composer BIO:

David R. Peoples writes with a ginger ale in hand on a balcony surrounded by forest. It’s from Flowery Branch, Georgia, surrounded by nature, that all his compositions begin before being released into and around the world. David enjoys sharing his own and other composers’ new music in recitals. From April 2021 to May 2022, he presented recitals featuring 100+ composers in all 50 states through the National Association of Composers, Music Teachers National Association, Research on Contemporary Composition Conference, and Electrophonic Concerts. David also actively composes new music with recent performances by soloists, Luna Nova Music Ensemble, Argento Chamber Ensemble, Contemporary Chamber Players, West Point Band, and other performance groups — with premieres in North and Central America, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, he has enjoyed jazz premieres by the Jazz Surge with Randy Brecker, David Sanchez, Rufus Reid, and Gary Foster. 

Among other things, David has toured extensively; lived, studied, and performed in Los Angeles, Austin, Memphis, and Atlanta; and won numerous national and international awards for composition. David actively produces albums as a leader and technologist (each containing his own compositions). Many of these albums feature a blended approach of live performance with fixed media elements. His works have been part of Space Bear Records, Navona Records, Ravello Records, Bluesilhouettes Music, Skydeck Music, and Select-O-Hits.

As a performer, he has founded/co-founded the 1716 Collective and the Neophonic Ensemble. A native of Southern California, he has taught for 10+ years and continues teaching at the University of North Georgia.
