George Chave is an award-winning composer whose music is regularly performed throughout the United States. He writes muscular and sensuous work that draws the audience in and keeps them on the edge of their seats.
He has composed over 70 works from solo instrumental and vocal pieces to works for wind ensemble, chorus, and orchestra. He has been commissioned by the St. Louis Symphony, the Texas Music Teachers Association, the St. Francis University, and numerous professional soloists and chamber ensembles. |
