Charles Martin Casál (born 1992) is a Georgia-born composer of new music based out of New York City, and recently graduated from Fordham College at Lincoln Center.[1]
Martin's projects include symphonic, choral, chamber, and crossover works.[2] He prefers to work in genre-bending territory, exploring non-orchestral sounds in the concert hall and incorporating music from other cultures, including folklore from his Cuban-American family.[3][4]
In 2013, he received the NYC Exponential Ensemble Young Composer Award,[5] and joined the New York Youth Symphony later in 2013 as part of the Robert L. Post Apprentice Conducting Workshop. In 2014, he was one of 6 musicians worldwide chosen as a composition fellow at the Dulwich International Music Academy (Beijing, China), followed by a term at the European American Music Alliance (Paris, France).[6]
His works have been performed in four countries, including NYC venues DiMenna Center, Lincoln Center, and Riverbank State Park.[citation needed] His teachers have included Daniel Ott, Wayne Oquin, Kyle Blaha, Milica Paranosic, Conrad Cummings, Sir Vincent La Selva, Narcís Bonet, and Thierry Lancino.[citation needed]
