Composer … Conductor … Arranger

With dozens of commissions and best-selling works, Michael J. Glasgow’s music is destined to achieve a lasting presence. His “overwhelming elegance” (Rima Greer, Above the Line) on the podium and “abundant melodic gift” (Jeffrey Williams, New York Concert Review) have been experienced at more than 160 engagements through the United States and abroad, most leading to repeat invitations. A consummate musician and creative visionary, with a perfect balance of humor and intensity, Glasgow is truly a “sculptor of sound.”
