Aaron Krerowicz, composer

An avid new-music supporter and indefatigable concert-goer, composer Aaron Krerowicz graduated from Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana with a Bachelor's of Music degree in Theory and Composition with high departmental honors in May 2008. His composition teachers there were Dr. Frank Felice and Dr. Michael Schelle. Other Butler mentors include Dr. James Briscoe, Dr. Robert Grechesky and Dr. Eric Stark.

Krerowicz on working with Maestro Lyon...

"Lyon has conducted my work on two occasions, and both times displayed great flexibility in adapting to the needs of the music. He understands the music both on a larger scale as well as on a smaller, more intimate level.  Andrew is very conscious and aware of his actions - there is always more going on inside him than what he verbalizes, and it shows through his conducting abilities.  His rehearsals make clear his desires for the music and that he knows how to elicit the best possible results."
