“I state it thus:
There is no truer truth attainable
By man than comes of music.”
- Robert Browning, from Parleyings with Certain People of
Importance in Their Day: With Charles Avison, 1887
American composer Jason Wright Wingate brings a unique and peculiar voice to contemporary classical music. Perhaps best described as a pitch serialist with a penchant for accidental tonalisms, Wingate’s deep erudition in the arts and humanities imparts to his music a meditative seriousness of purpose, while his four decades as a cellist bestow a rich and exuberant thickness to his signature sound. New works continue to grow in his ever-germinating garden of composition projects, from symphonies and string quartets to opera, oratorio, and song . . .

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”
– Plato (apocryphal, from Sir John Lubbock's The Pleasures of Life, 1889)
