Timeline
Derek Charke (born 1974) is a Canadian classical composer and flutist.
In 2012, Derek Charke won the Juno Award for Classical Composition of the Year for his work, "Sepia Fragments."
The following year Charke's work, "Between the Shore and the Ships" received an ECMA for Classical Composition of the Year.
Derek's compositions increasingly pair electroacoustic elements—many of which are derived from environmental sounds—with acoustic instruments.
Ecological sound as an artistic statement on environmental issues has become an impetus for many works, and his interest in the Arctic has like-wise played a role in many of his compositions.
His music bridges a divide between this play of pure sound, collecting natural and environmental sound, and a continuation of the Western "classical" tradition—albeit with contemporary and popular influences.
Derek Charke earned his bachelor's degree in composition at the University of North Texas, a master's degree in composition from the Royal Academy of Music, a master's degree in flute and a doctorate degree in composition from the University at Buffalo.
While at Buffalo he studied composition with David Felder and flute with Cheryl Gobbetti Hoffman.
Charke is currently an associate professor of music theory and composition at Acadia University School of Music in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Charke is also co-director of the Acadia New Music Society, and he actively performs as both a soloist and new music improvisor on the flute.
In addition to his responsibilities as a full professor at Acadia University, Charke is an associate composer of the Canadian Music Centre (CMC).
To date, Charke has received numerous awards and commissions, including a BMI student composer award for his work Xynith, the Outstanding Undergraduate Award in Composition from the University of North Texas, and an honorable mention from the Kubik Prize for his composition What do the Birds Think? Charke has been commissioned by ensembles such as Duo Turgeon, the Kronos Quartet, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, and the St. Lawrence String Quartet.
Dr. Charke and his wife currently live in Kentville, Nova Scotia.
