Bio

Calvin Isaac Wamser (BHA in Global Studies and Music Composition, Carnegie Mellon University; MM in Choral Conducting, New England Conservatory of Music) is a music educator, composer, and performer based in the Boston area. Working as Assistant Conductor with the Boston Children’s Chorus and the New England Conservatory Youth Chorale has been instrumental in building his teaching philosophies across various age groups. 

As a director, his goal is to lead a student-oriented learning environment, regardless of age or experience. Due to his background in liberal arts as a conductor, Calvin programs historically informed concerts, with diverse repertoire selections which highlight under-represented composers throughout time, and living composers as well. As a classical composer, Calvin utilizes concepts from Music History to compose music that melds Medieval/Renaissance ideas with modern harmony. His works have been performed around the world, including in countries such as South Africa and Russia.
