Alexander Liebermann

From birdsong-inspired compositions to political monodramas, the wide-ranging music of composer Alexander Liebermann is sought after across the United States and Europe. His most recent compositions include a climate-change reflecting monodrama commissioned by the Deutsche Oper Berlin, a birdsong-inspired string trio commissioned by members of the Staatskapelle Dresden, and a soundtrack for the documentary film "Frozen Corpses Golden Treasures."

As a nature enthusiast, Liebermann devotes much of his time to the sounds of wildlife; his original and accurate transcriptions of animal vocalizations are viral on social media, featured in the world renowned magazine National Geographic, and earned him invitations to international congresses, including the 10th Birdwatching Congress in Colombia. His first book Birdsong: A Musical Field Guide, was recently published by Just A Theory Press.

Liebermann graduated from Hanns Eisler Music Conservatory, the Juilliard School, and Manhattan School of Music. For his thesis on Erwin Schulhoff, Liebermann was awarded the Saul Braverman Award in Music Theory. Liebermann resides in New York and is a MAP music theory and ear training faculty member since 2017.
