Julián Fueyo

Fueyo is a composer from Tampico, Mexico whose music explores ancient aesthetics and their place in our rapidly changing, contemporary culture. His pieces often reference ancient art and literature investigating idealization, historicism, memory, and transcendence. 

Recently, his piece Eleventh Heaven—premiered at Severance Hall by Carlos Kalmar & the CIMO for CIM’s 100th Anniversary—received the 68th BMI Student Composer Awards (2020) and the 2020 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards. His violin concerto Serpiente de Turquesas—premiered by Shannon Lee and Sunny Xia—also received the 2021 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards. Most recently Fueyo was a SFSC Fellow at the Aspen Music Festival (2022) where his pieces 'Hurakán', 'O Condicionado,' and 'Lume in forma di rivera,' were featured.

Fueyo is an Interlochen Arts Academy, Cleveland Institute of Music, and Yale School of Music alum where he studied with Keith Fitch, David Lang, Aaron J. Kernis, Chris Theofanidis & H. Lash.
