The 40-year-old will join the composition department alongside faculty members Melinda Wagner, John Corigliano, Robert Beaser and Matthias Pintscher.

“I am honored and thrilled to join the composition faculty of Juilliard ... I am excited to explore musical creativity in all its forms with the members of this amazing community, and I look forward to asking the big questions of classical music — what is it, why is it, and where is it going — at this storied institution,” Andrew has this week said.
