Shying away from
the limelight, composer and librettist Edward
Ficklin has found his
way in the new music world -- and discovered his voice as
an artist -- working with collectives like the New York
Composers Circle and the South Oxford Six. Trained in
classical composition and English literature at the
University of Denver, he finds inspiration in the small
details and sounds of everyday life. Recent success of note
include a residency at the newly established artists colony
I-Park (East Haddam, CT), a commission from the Walt
Whitman Project (Brooklyn, NY), and participating in the
first year of American Opera Project's Composers and the
Voice series. He founded the Voyeur Theater Ensemble in
2003.
