MINOO DIXON

An Asian-American composer who has been recognized by ASCAP and National Federation of Music Clubs, MINOO (Mē-N(y)o͞o) DIXON (b. 1999) has been on the rise composing exciting music meant to be enjoyed by both the performers and the audience, with no ear left behind. Minoo grew up in Suwanee, Georgia where he not only developed an aspiration to become a composer but also an enthusiastic conductor and expressive clarinet performer. 

Throughout his years of composing, he has been awarded Senior Composition Competition Winner by MTNA, Composition State Winner by GMEA, Composition National Finalist by National Federation of Music Clubs, and a Finalist of the ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composers Awards Competition. Minoo’s pieces have been performed at locations such as University of North Georgia, University of Georgia, Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory, and Valencia, Spain. 

In 2018 Minoo began attending Berklee College of Music, where he was able to absorb and develop his contemporary music skills but realized his passions in composition aligned more closely with the concert hall and transferred to New England Conservatory in 2020 to study composition under the tutelage of Michael Gandolfi.
