Hailed by the Louisville Courier-Journal for his �compelling, innate soulfulness,� Lawrence Dillon has produced an extensive body of work characterized by a keen sensitivity to color and a mastery of traditional forms. A student of Vincent Persichetti, Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter, David Diamond, and Roger Sessions, Dillon became at the age of 25 the youngest composer to earn a doctorate at the Juilliard School (1985), also winning the Gretchaninoff Prize and an ASCAP Young Composers Award. Currently Composer-in-Residence at the North Carolina School for the Arts, Dillon holds residencies at numerous summer festivals, and has been awarded grants from the American Music Center and National Endowment for the Arts, among others. His works have received special commendation from the 2003 Masterprize of London, been chosen for the 2002 Jordania International Conducting Competition in Kharkov, Ukraine and been performed and broadcast throughout the Americas and Europe. His music is on Albany (�Chamber Music by Lawrence Dillon� � http://www.jamesarts.com/releases/july02/LD_cd.htm), Channel Crossings, and CRS.
