Composer, Pianist, Teacher
".....Motion and stillness, involuted chromaticism and frank euphony, exaltation and ecstasy on the one hand and tormented self-questioning on the other, illuminate each other in his music..... " Bernard Jacobson
"...Mr. Wilson’s idiom is highly chromatic with strong tonal underpinnings..." [from a NYTimes review of Intercalations] Tim Page
"Richard Wilson is a composer of energy, refinement and felicitous craft. The shimmering sonorities of Eclogue for piano, the dynamism of the First Symphony and the haunting Ballad of Longwood Glen for harp and tenor, all display a musical ingenuity and depth which command our attention." (Citation from American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters)
