American composer and musician
Musical artist
Ellis Joseph Ludwig-Leone [1] (born 1989) is an American composer and songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York . Since 2012, he has led the chamber pop group San Fermin with whom he has released four studio albums, most recently 2020's The Cormorant . Outside of San Fermin, he has composed for a wide variety of contemporary classical ensembles and organizations, including New York City Ballet , Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra , and Brooklyn Youth Chorus, and often works with choreographer Troy Schumacher , harpist Lavinia Meijer , Attacca Quartet, and singer-songwriter Allen Tate .
Early life
[ edit ]
Ellis Ludwig-Leone was born in Rhode Island in 1989 and was raised nearby in Berkeley, Massachusetts , a rural community on Massachusetts' South Coast .[2] His parents, who are both painters and former visual arts professors, raised him and his younger sister.[3] Growing up, he studied classical piano and was in a string of high school rock bands. He also played competitive basketball.[3] He met future collaborator and San Fermin-bandmate Allen Tate at a Berklee College of Music summer program when they were both fifteen years old.[4]
Ludwig-Leone subsequently studied classical composition at Yale University , from which he received an undergraduate degree in 2011.[5]
Career
[ edit ]
Ludwig-Leone began composing while studying at Yale, writing music for his bands and ensembles.[3] When he was a junior, he began working as an assistant for composer Nico Muhly with whom he would an establish a lasting professional relationship.[5] [6] After graduating, he took part in an artistic residency at the secluded Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta , Canada, during which he wrote most of the material that would become the record San Fermin .[5] The album was released on Downtown Records in 2013 to critical acclaim and prompted the formation of an established eight-person band which has continuously toured since that time. As the group's songwriter and producer, Ludwig-Leone has written three other records for the group, Jackrabbit (2014), Belong (2017), and The Cormorant I &II (2020), among other releases.
Ludwig-Leone has written music for many ensembles including ACME, Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, Decoda , Fifth House Ensemble, Hotel Elefant, JACK Quartet , Metropolis Ensemble, and NOW Ensemble, and was the Composer-in-Residence for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra in their 2015 season.[7] In addition, he has written ballets with choreographer Troy Schumacher for the New York City Ballet [8] and BalletCollective .[9]
In 2020, Ludwig-Leone founded the record label Better Company with Allen Tate and San Fermin manager Thomas Winkler.[10]
Ludwig-Leone's influences include Sufjan Stevens , Miles Davis , Charles Ives , Paul Simon , Nico Muhly, Benjamin Britten , and The National .[4]
