Who is Jay Sydeman?
William Jay Sydeman is an American composer. Born in New York, he studied at the Mannes School of Music, where he later taught composition. Winning early acclaim for his avant-garde music, he felt trapped by the prevailing orthodoxies and moved to California in 1970, beginning a period of wandering during which he also studied Buddhism and Anthroposophy. He joined ASCAP in 1975. In 1981 he settled in Sacramento and resumed composition at his former prolific rate, having newly embraced a neotonal musical language. Since 1988 he has resided in Nevada City.
