COMPOSER
Stewart Wallace Composer Stewart Wallace is known for his groundbreaking operas Harvey Milk, The Bonesetter's Daughter, Hopper's Wife, Kabbalah and Where's Dick? Over his nearly 30-year career, Wallace has collaborated with a diverse group of artists, including Michael Korie, Richard Foreman, Christopher Alden, Evelyn Glennie, Marc Ribot and Amy Tan. Performed to sold-out houses around the world, his works have been called "brave, bold and important," "truly staggering" and "a potent addition to the repertoire, a triumph." A studio recording of Harvey Milk is available on Teldec. The Bonesetter's Daughter inspired both a book by Ken Smith published by Chronicle Books, and a documentary by David Petersen broadcast nationally on PBS. Stewart Wallace was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship. His music is published and represented worldwide by Schott International.
