Peter Zummo is an American composer and trombonist.[1][2][3] He has been described as "an important exponent of the American contemporary classical tradition." He has called his own work "minimalism plus a whole lot more."[4][5]
Since 1967, Zummo's compositions exploring rock, jazz, new music, electronic music, disco, punk, and world music have been presented in venues including Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City Center, Experimental Intermedia Foundation,[6] Roulette, The Kitchen, Dance Theater Workshop, and La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, among many others in New York City.[4] He has appeared in additional venues across the country and worldwide, including Café Oto[7] and King's Place[8][9] in London, KRAAK Festival[10] in Brussels, and Rewire Festival[11] in The Hague.
The website of the music magazine Pitchfork called Zummo's music “the sound of sublimity…that sends shivers down the nervous system,” and in an interview with The Quietus, Scottish deejay JD Twitch (Keith McIvor) characterized Zummo's work as “sheer bliss.”[12][13]
