Trevor Weston

Trevor Weston’s music has been called a “gently syncopated marriage of intellect and feeling” by the Detroit Free Press. His honors include the George Ladd Prix de Paris from the University of California, Berkeley, a Goddard Lieberson Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and residencies from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the MacDowell Colony. Weston co-authored, with Olly Wilson, the fifth chapter in the Cambridge Companion to Duke Ellington, Duke Ellington as a Cultural Icon (Cambridge University Press). Weston’s work Juba for Strings won the 2019 Sonori/New Orleans Chamber Orchestra Composition Competition. He earned his master’s and doctorate in composition from the University of California at Berkeley, and he is also a professor of music at Drew University.
