Alexander Kaloian (b. 1962, Los Angeles, California) is an Armenian composer, known for the strong nationalistic language in his works, which include marches, tone poems, and symphonies - many evoking images of the Armenian homeland in colour.
Among his most recent works is the large-scale Concerto for Orchestra (2015) - a 30 minute work in 5 Movements, wherein the various families of the orchestra are juxtaposed with and against each other, forming many contrasts between quiet and violence. A recording will be released on iTunes in early 2015, in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide - the work is "dedicated to the memory of the composer's maternal grandmother Anna."
Kaloian has studied with a number of prominent mentors, including
Daniel Robbins (Harmony)
Gunnar Johansen (Composition in Piano)
John Bergamo (Percussion)
Amiya Dasgupta (North Indian Sargam)
Tom Knox (Composition in Wind Ensemble
A natural linguist, Kaloian graduated from the University of Southern California in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics.
