John Link is a New York composer and is one of the founders of Friends and Enemies of New Music.[1]
Link received a Ph.D. in music from the City University of New York, a Master's degree from The Ohio State University, and B.M. and B.A. degrees from the University of Nebraska. He studied composition with David Olan, Thomas Wells, and Randall Snyder.[2]
In 1989 he and a group of composers— Tom Cipullo,[3][4] Nancy Gunn,[5] Cynthia Miller, Gregory W. Pinney, and Ben Yarmolinsky[6] — formed Friends & Enemies of New Music, a composers group that put on a series of contemporary music concerts in New York City and sponsored an annual competition.[7]
In 2007 his composition For Irving Lippel, performed by Jeffrey Irving and Daniel Lippel appeared on the album Sustenance (New Focus Recordings)[8] and in 2008 an excerpt of his work Life Studies was included on the compilation album Crosstalk: American Speech Music (Bridge Records) produced by Mendi + Keith Obadike.[9]
In 2009 his composition Around the Bend appeared on the album FM by Flexible Music (New Focus Recordings).[10]
He is currently a Professor of Music at William Paterson University directing the Center for Electroacoustic Music.[11]
Link has also published several articles and two books on the music of the American composer Elliott Carter (1908-2012). In 2000, his book Elliott Carter: A Guide to Research was published by Garland Press (now Taylor and Francis).[12] In 2012 his essay Elliott Carter's Late Music was published in the collection Elliott Carter Studies, which he co-edited with Marguerite Boland, published by Cambridge University Press.[13]
He also participated in several events surrounding the Elliott Carter centenary in 2008, including panel discussion at the Tanglewood Music Center[14] and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.[15] In 2011 Link was invited to present an international workshop: "Elliott Carter’s Tempo e tempi," at the University of Slovenia in Ljubljana, as part of the 2011 Festival Slowind.[16]
