ORCHESTRA

Alex Bozman works in multiple disciplines. As a professional musician, he composes, arranges, plays different instruments (cello, violoncello piccolo, fretless bass, fretted strings both bowed and plucked, vocals, and more), and teaches many talented students. In his compositions, he seeks the fascinating rather than alignment with any particular niche or ideology. The genres he practices and performs the most are Classical Music, Avant Garde Music, Early Music, Latin Music, and Hindustani Classical Music.

Alex holds an MFA (Performer/Composer) from CalArts and a Bachelor's degree in mathematics and music from UC Berkeley. Past composition teachers include Mel Powell, Daniel Rothman, Peter Otto, and Lucky Mosko. He has studied cello with Erika Duke, Cesare Pascarella, and Bonnie Hampton. He studies Hindustani (North Indian) classical music with Pt. Partha Chatterjee and previously the late Dr. Rajeev Taranath, and since 2008 has been a regular performer in the Nikhil Banerjee Memorial Concerts in San Jose, California. Alex places high value on both his own continuing development as an artist and his duty as a teacher to subsequent generations.
