Benjamin Webster’s music explores the beauty, fragility, and ephemerality of sound and gesture. His works construct large-scale musical narratives from simple materials, themselves often emergent from instrumental timbre and performance technique. Benjamin’s music has been performed by the Minnesota Orchestra, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Lyris Quartet, the Yale Philharmonia, Transient Canvas, and the Passepartout Duo, among others; and has been heard at the Lake George Music Festival, Bowdoin Music Festival, Yale School of Music’s Norfolk New Music Workshop, Alba Music Festival, Oregon Bach Festival, and the Ciclo de Música Contemporánea de Oviedo. He holds degrees from the University of Miami and the University of Southern California, and he is currently a doctoral candidate at the Yale School of Music.
