Michael Bang

Michael Bang is a Bay Area composer and musician. He received a B.A. in music composition from the University of California, Los Angeles under David Lefkowitz and Mark Carlson, and an M.A. from San Francisco State University under Benjamin Sabey and Richard Festinger. Michael Bang has worked with Dal Niente, Elevate Ensemble, loadbang, Mivos Quartet, and Splinter Reeds. He has taught at San Francisco State University, and has had his music performed at the June in Buffalo Festival.

In addition to classical music, Michael also writes, sings, and plays various instruments for an avant classical folk ensemble, as well as the rock bands The Riot Professor and Veins. Music is all he does, and he wants you to hear it, at a live performance, on recordings, as sheet music, or just as the vibrating air that it is.
