Victor Spiegel creates a sound built of innovative harmonies and rhythms. His lyricism grows from both familiar and exotic soils, influenced by music from around the world, including India, Japan, Indonesia, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Victor started his piano concert career at the age of 6, performing classical repertoire up to the age of 15. He then decided to focus on composing and performing his own material. He received a BA from the University of California in Performance Integration of World Myths and Music. There he wrote, directed and performed his Magic Door opera and composed and conducted his ensembles and symphonic works. His Master of Arts in Music Composition from Mills College in Oakland, California solidified his academic and professional involvement in scoring for diverse media. It also provided him a basis for subsequent directing and involvement in teaching, film and video work.
Currently, Victor is Lecturer in Music at JMC Academy, Sydney.More...
