Biography

---

Eclecticism is a defining trait in Noah's music. He suspects it comes from a strong desire to explore people's similarities and differences. Stylistically and emotionally, he enjoys playing with anything he comes across, from Jazz Big Band Concertos, modal preludes and fugues, pop songs, avant-garde screeching solo violin music, and madcap insane comedy, to name but a few. The through-line between these approaches emphasizes order, structure, pacing, and theatricality, making the aesthetic quite malleable. 

Like a box of chocolates, you may never know exactly what you'll get, but hopefully, it'll be sweet!

Highlights from 2023-2024 include premieres at concerts held by organizations such as Random Access Music, Opera on Tap, the North American Saxophone Alliance (NASA), the United States Navy Band Saxophone Symposium, the Cortona Sessions, and Sputter Box. His most current large-scale project is an opera commissioned by the New Music Theatre project in New York City, set to premiere fully staged in the 2024-2025 season.

Noah is attending Butler University in Indianapolis, completing his MM in Composition as the Graduate Assistant in Music Theory on full scholarship. He is studying with Dr. Michael Schelle, a two-time Pulitzer Prize in Music nominee.

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Noah previously graduated from the Brooklyn College Conservatory(B.Mus, 2021). His previous teachers include Guggenheim Fellow Dr. Dalit Warshaw, Polina Nazaykinskaya, and Dr. Douglas Cohen.

In his free time, Noah enjoys going out with friends, eating sushi, playing chess and pool, and playing with his 14-year-old cat, Pookie. He is also a pretty good cook. His proudest accomplishment in his entire life was winning a hot chocolate-making contest with his roommates back in Brooklyn (though he actually liked the second-place one better)!
