About: Artistic Director
As a composer, Thomas was an artist-in-residence of the Lucas Artists program at the Montalvo Center for the Arts in Saratoga, California (2006-2008). He collaborated with New York visual artist Lesley Dill in the production of an extended work for a cappella chorus, I Heard a Voice, which was premiered by the Ars Nova Singers in September 2002. His composition Psalm 88 for orchestra and chorus received the prestigious BMI Award, and his choral work Four Poems of e. e. cummings was presented on the opening program of the eighth Internacional de Musica Nueva festival in Mexico City. Several of his works have been performed internationally by the Peiyang Chorus of Tianjin, China.
“Morgan is a many-splendored musician who can shape a line to realize to the fullest extent the intentions of the composer.
On the podium he is a figure of engaging authority.”
“Under the skillful direction of Thomas Edward Morgan, [the Ars Nova Singers] put across the full expressive power of this amazing music.”
