Reviews

“This is music of tremendous imagination. Knehans scores with a masterly hand, his sound paintbrush unerringly hitting the mark.” —Fanfare Magazine (Mar/Apr, 2016)

“...[Knehans’] choral music comes across as well rooted and accessible, and always seems to hit an emotional nerve... should be of great appeal to anyone interested in new choral music.” —Classical Music Sentinel (Nov, 2016)

“Cascade (for two pianos) is a substantial work ... effective ... incisive ... hauntingly beautiful...” — Fanfare Magazine (Apr 06, 2012)

“I was particularly impressed with Knehans's setting of the poem called ‘You're.’ His music is brilliantly catchy and eerily bright, providing an extra dimension to Plath's heavily condensed imagery.” — The Australian (Dec 02, 1986)

“...[Knehans] had a gift of pulse and kinetic impetus that propelled [his] music onward...” — The Straits Times, Singapore (Nov 03, 2009)

“‘Night Chains’ by Douglas Knehans, was like a Hitchcock soundtrack gone truly psycho: wildly inventive.” — The Miami Herald (Apr 18, 1994)

“‘Winter Steps’ is a witty, ambitious, inventive and passionate work ... a brief and powerful piece...” — The Tuscaloosa News (Feb 28, 1996)

“The piece [seraphic ride] tells an exciting story, ever- intensifying in color, thematic ideas, texture and tempo.” — The Washington Post (Jun 24, 2002)

“Other highlights included Douglas Knehans's ‘Bang’... Knehans uses electronics and a driving rhythm to explore variations in time and attack. However, there are a directness of expression and lack of pretension which resonate with his compatriots' music.” — The Sydney Morning Herald (Jun 03, 2003) Biography

With a gift for extravagant color, beautiful melodic style, clear musical form and engaging, soulfully dramatic work, the music of Douglas Knehans has gained the attention and warm appreciation of audiences and performers around the world.

Knehans’ two-piano work cascade has been performed in Steinway Hall, New York; Tokyo, Japan; Kiev, Ukraine and recorded for worldwide CD release on Ablaze Records by the virtuoso piano duo The Pridonoff Duo in a recording hailed by Fanfare Magazine as “ … effective … incisive … hauntingly beautiful … .” A disc of his early music for acoustic and electronic cello was released on Ablaze Records in the fall of 2010 which was called “ … amazingly sophisticated … very beautiful … intriguing … captivating …” by Audiophile Audition.

With a reputation for crafting large, bold works, Knehans’ latest commissions are for a new flute concerto for noted American flutist Bradley Garner and a new cello concerto for cellist Paul York whose solo performance The New York Concert Review hailed as “… brilliant … one had to be in awe of his playing.”

Knehans holds degrees from the Australian National University; Queens College, CUNY where he graduated with the Luigi Dallapiccola Composition Award (1991) for outstanding achievement in music composition and Yale University where he won the Woods Chandler Memorial Award for best composition in a larger form among others.

A fellow of Carnegie Hall, the Victorian Council of the Arts, MacDowell Colony and Leighton Artist Colony (Banff), Knehans has won awards from the Australian Film and Television School, American Music Centre, National Endowment for the Arts and Meet the Composer. He has been a guest of the Czech-American Summer Music Institute in Prague, Czech Republic; the New Music, New Faces Festival in Krakow, Poland; Premieres of the Season Festival in Kiev, Ukraine, and a number of others.

Knehans has also been a visiting professor of composition at the Australian National University (1981 and 2004) National University of Singapore (2006) and the Krakow Academy of Music, Poland (2007) and has delivered lectures on his music at New York University and Yale University and others. He was Director of the University of Tasmania Conservatorium of Music from 2000-2008, created and was the inaugural Artistic Director of the Australian International Summer Orchestra Institute from 2005-2008. Between 2008-2010 he was Dean of the College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) in Cincinnati and is currently the Norman Dinerstein Professor of Composition Scholar at CCM. Knehans was recently named Composer of the Year 2013 by the Ohio Music Teachers Association and was a 2011 winner of the International Music Prize for Excellence in Music Composition (Athens, Greece) and was a 2012 semi-finalist for The American Prize in Composition (Orchestra-Professional Division) for his work ripple—for large orchestra. In April of 2013 he was awarded the George A. Rieveschl Award for Creative and/or Scholarly Work by the President of the University of Cincinnati. In 2015 he won second prize in The American Prize competition for his orchestral work Cascade and his disc Concertos won Gold Medal-Best of Show in the Global Music Awards.

Douglas Knehans is also the Director and Producer for ABLAZE Records and is a voting member of The Recording Academy, the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, which administers the GRAMMY Awards.
