Composer

Randall Shinn composes operas and concert music. Reviewers have called his music “lyrical,” “passionate,” and “compelling.” His operas mix wit and fiery passion—producing results reviewers term “stunning” and “spell-binding”.

Reviewers have also remarked on his music’s “sensuality” and “sensation of physical motion.” His works have been described as both “refined” and “powerfully expressive.” One reviewer remarked that Shinn integrates “modern music and language with more familiar classical styles to create a sound that is uniquely his.” Other reviewers have described his works as “sophisticated,” “long-haunting,” and “lusciously beautiful.”
