Anthony Korf

Anthony Korf is an American composer, artistic director and conductor. While his output spans vocal and chamber music, his primary focus has been the orchestra, among which Goldkind, a work for young audiences written in collaboration with Sabina Sciubba (Brazilian Girls), three symphonies, a piano concerto and a requiem, the latter commissioned and premiered by The San Francisco Symphony, figure most prominently. Other commissions include The American Composers Orchestra, The Koussevitzky Music Foundation, The Howard Hanson Fund, and The National Endowment for the Arts.

Korf currently serves as Artistic Director and Composer-in-Residence for Riverside Symphony (New York City), a professional orchestra he co-founded with the conductor George Rothman in 1981. In 1974 Korf founded Parnassus, a New York-based contemporary music ensemble which he led as conductor and Artistic Director for 27 seasons.
