Manuel de Murga: OUTLINE for big band (2021)

Manuel de Murga’s compositions have been featured on international concert programs, receiving performances by soloists and ensembles such as the Amernet String Quartet, the CORE Ensemble, the Florida Orchestra (Michael Francis, conductor), guitarist Stephen Robinson, the Stetson University Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra (Anthony Hose, conductor), and flutist Nestor Torres.

His music has been called “…a display of intelligent and inspired invention with syncopated rhythms and a very cutting-edge structure…” ("...un despliegue de inteligente e inspirada invención con ritmos sincopados y una estructura muy de vanguardia que regala una constante sorpresa para el oyente. Sin duda De Murga ya despunta como un compositor de ideas originales que sabe hacer buen uso de los ritmos latinos." El Nuevo Herald). Additional impressions of his award-winning work include “upbeat and understated” (Tampa Bay Online) and “haunting and otherworldly” (Bowdoin College).

He is a pianist and teaches music at Stetson University.
