Biography: David MacIntyre

[David MacIntyre]

I was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1952. I received my Bachelor of Music in composition (1975) and Master of Music in composition (1979) from the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I was invited to join the faculty of the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada in 1979 where I co-founded the program in contemporary music. Currently, I'm Professor of Music and Interdisciplinary Studies at SFU and I teach music composition and interdisciplinary collaboration. I write music for the stage (opera, music theatre, dance), orchestra, chamber ensembles, choral ensembles and solo voice. My music has been performed throughout Canada, USA, Europe (Denmark, England, Finland, Holland, Italy, Northern Ireland, Spain, and Sweden), Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand.
