Michael Nyvang (b. 1963) received his composition diploma from the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus in 1995 and continued his studies in the Academy’s soloist class for composers. The same year he was awarded a three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation. Nyvang’s music covers a large palette of expressions and styles, from an hour long solo piece for piano, to symphonic orchestral scores and electroacoustic music.
