Charles D. Norris
Winner of the Charles B. Olson Composition Contest
Charles D Norris.
His music has been called "Exhaustingly imaginative," and "highly creative with a compelling musical narrative." In 2020, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Music Education from the Greenwood School of Music at Oklahoma State University.
In his music, Charles D. Norris enjoys exploring the vast ranges of the instruments: physically, musically, and dramatically. He is drawn to the jarring sensation of the unexpected and harmonic dissonances. His recent works include a four-movement work for wind ensemble, a concerto for flute and orchestra, and a fanfare for antiphonal brass; among other works in progress.
