Holland-born Yotam Haber grew up in Israel, Nigeria, and Milwaukee. His music has been hailed by New Yorker critic Alex Ross as “deeply haunting,” by the Los Angeles Times as one of five classical musicians “2014 Faces To Watch,” and he was chosen as one of the “30 composers under 40” by Orpheus Chamber Orchestra’s Project 440. He is the recipient of a 2017 Koussevitzky Commission, a 2013 Fromm Music Foundation commission, a 2013 NYFA award, the 2007 Rome Prize and a 2005 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship.
