Allan Crossman
musicianship
Allan Crossman has taught harmony and musicianship at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music since 2002 and was on the faculty of Concordia University (Montreal), Wheaton College, and the Pacific Conservatory. He has written compositions for many soloists and ensembles, among them pianist Max Lifchitz, cellist Nina Flyer, dancer Janet Oxley, and a number of his pieces are on North/South Recordings; a recent commission is the piano trio Icarus, for the Bay Area group New Pacific Trio. His work has been supported by Canada Council for the Arts, American Composers Forum and Meet the Composer. He has collaborated with theater companies for many years--the Royal Shakespeare Company produced The Log of the Skipper's Wife at Stratford and the Kennedy Center, directed by Joann Green Breuer, with Crossman's music drawn from Irish/English shanties and dances. His graduate studies were with George Rochberg, George Crumb, and Hugo Weisgall at the University of Pennsylvania.
