Alexander Chadwell Alexander Chadwell New York City Alexander J. Chadwell (b. 1993) is a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-born and raised, New York City-based composer of genre-fluid music. Exposed to a vast array musical styles from a young age, his music is incapable of being categorized into traditional genre boundaries. He often works at the intersection of technology and acoustic instruments. An advocate for universal arts education and a believer in the power of arts and culture to be used to promote and facilitate equitable community development, Chadwell is an active teaching artist in New York City schools and after-school programs. He's worked with organizations such as Brooklyn Arts Council, St. Nicks Alliance, the New York Philharmonic's Very Young Composers program, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the Center for Arts Education, and Highbridge Voices. He serves on The New York City Arts in Education Roundtable’s Advocacy Committee. In addition to his work as a composer and teaching artist, he coordinates the innovative Arts Management and Entrepreneurship graduate program and Graduate Minor in Community Cultural Development (theory and practice of Creative Placemaking) at The New School’s College of Performing Arts. Promoting the creation of new works of art of various media, he founded the collaborative performance project, 7:1 which acts as a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaboration between young artists of various backgrounds who are at a critical juncture in their lives. In the spring of 2017, 7:1 commissioned 7 young composers to write new music to be choreographed by Rohan Bhargava of Rovaco Dance Company. Chadwell attended West Chester University and Mannes College of Music, The New School. He has studied with (in no particular order): Huang Ruo, William Brittelle, Van Stiefel, and Robert Cuckson and taken additional lessons with Missy Mazzoli, David T. Little, and Kaija Saariaho. He is a member of ASCAP. Alexander Chadwell’s tracks Am I A Flower?
