Diego David Vega (born 1968) is a Colombian-American composer and music professor whose work blends elements of traditional Colombian music with contemporary styles. He has created works for a variety of ensembles, including soloists, chamber groups, and symphony orchestras. Vega is also an experienced music educator, having taught composition and theory in both Colombia and the United States. He became an associate professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Music in 2011, and has received commissions from institutions such as the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia and Maîtrise Notre Dame de Paris.
Education and career
Vega studied at the Javeriana University in Bogotá, Colombia, where he earned his Bachelor of Music. He also studied at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he earned his Master of Music, and at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he earned his doctorate. Among other teachers, his composition teachers were Guillermo Gaviria, Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, Joel Hoffman, Roberto Sierra, and Steven Stucky.
Following his studies, he was a visiting assistant professor of composition and music theory at the Setnor School of Music at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, and an associate professor at the Faculty of Music at the Javeriana University. He has held a faculty position at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Music since 2011.
Vega is one of five composers for the album Reason & Reverence which was released in June 2018 by Navona Records. The composers are described as having developed "a compelling, philosophical reflection of the world we live in." Petr Vronský conducted, and the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra delivers the compositions.
Composition and music style
Diego Vega's musical style is characterized by a synthesis of classical music, Colombian music, jazz, and his favorite composers. He often incorporates elements of Colombian traditional music into his works, such as rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and instruments. He also explores the use of complex textures, polyrhythms, polytonality, and extended techniques. He is influenced by composers from different periods and genres, such as Prokofiev, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Bartók, Ligeti, Lutoslawski, Messiaen, Stucky, and many others. Latin American writers have inspired some of his works, such as "hlör u fang axaxaxas mlö" (2004) for clarinet, violin, cello and piano, which was influenced by Jorge Luis Borges’ writings, and his recent ballet "Espíritu de Pájaro", which was based on poems by Colombian indigenous authors.
