Shyly courting
the limelight, composer and librettist Edward
Ficklin focuses his
creative energy on the various forms of music-theater.
He has realized his works in a number of unusual venues,
like a store window near Grand Central Station and a
disused (and abused) bank lobby near the World Trade
Center. Trained in classical composition and English
literature at the University of Denver, he finds
inspiration in the small details and sounds of everyday
life. Since 2003 he has been actively involved in the
composers collective The South Oxford Six, a group of
six composers dedicated to presenting new works,
collaboration, and training new generations of
composers. Edward also serves on the Artists Advisory
Council of Fractured Atlas, a national service
organization for independent and self-producing
artists.
