Andrew Maxfield
The compositions of Andrew Maxfield—hailed as “rhythmically vital…superbly judged…[and] tender” by Fanfare magazine—have been performed throughout the U.S. and Europe, recently by ensembles ranging from The Gesualdo Six and The Choir of Royal Holloway to Salt Lake Symphony and Utah Opera. A recent winner of the King’s Singer’s New Music Prize (Jury Special Commendation), Maxfield collaborates with Sound of Ages as its Composer-in-Residence. Andrew learned his craft at BYU, the EAMA–Nadia Boulanger Institute in Paris, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and the University of Bristol (UK), via mentorship with Philip Lasser (Juilliard), John Pickard, Jonathan Bailey Holland, and Marti Epstein. He also holds an MBA in Arts Administration from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Andrew lives with his wife Liz Davis Maxfield and their two handsome, high-octane boys (plus a hyper puppy) just downhill from Sundance in Provo, Utah.
