DJ Mason Bates

Blue Berceuse

San Francisco composer DJ Mason Bates (b. 1977), who studied with John Corigliano, moves fluidly between the worlds of classical music and electronica, and he recently became the first dual recipient of the Rome Prize and the Berlin Prize. Among his many international performances, Omnivorous Furniture (for symphonietta and electronica) was recently commissioned and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and he was the featured soloist in performances of his own Concerto for Synthesizer with both the Atlanta and Phoenix Symphonies.
