Hunter X. Harville-Moxley is a composer, conductor, and organist with experience with instrumental and choral ensembles alike. His background in sacred music, video game music, and composition informs his mindful but refined approach to music. Hunter is fueled by his passion for understanding the nuances of cultural music practices. He considers himself a ‘forever student,’ eager to both build on his academic foundations in pipe organ performance and composition and stays in touch with the latest music composition trends through continued coursework and professional development.
His hunger for knowledge and determination to turn a musical idea into a realized composition has contributed to his most recent success with the Chinese Community Chorus. There, he arranged a popular Chinese pop song (月亮代表我的心 - The Moon Represents My Heart) for their spring concert.
Hunter is currently working as a freelance composer and conductor that is always interested in pursuing excellence in his work. Hunter holds an Associate of Science in Pipe Organ Performance from SUNY Schenectady where he studied with Alfred Fedak, Bachelor of Arts in Music with a concentration in composition from SUNY Albany where he studied composition with Max Lifchitz and conducting with Dr. Michael Pfitzer, Master of Art in Music from Tufts University where he studied composition with Kareem Roustom and John McDonald and conducting with John Page and Jamie Kirsch
