Timeline

1973

John Mackey (born October 1, 1973) is an American composer of contemporary classical music, with an emphasis on music for wind band, as well as orchestra.

For several years, he focused on music for modern dance and ballet.

John Mackey was born in New Philadelphia, Ohio and grew up in Westerville, Ohio, where he attended Westerville South High School.

Though musicians themselves, Mackey's parents did not provide him with music lessons, and he never formally studied an instrument.

His grandfather, however, taught him to read music and introduced him to digital music notation.

Through experimentation with programs intended for entertainment rather than education, Mackey began to compose his own music.

He wrote his first piece, Lacrimosa, at age 11, after being inspired by the film Amadeus.

As a young composer, he took some lessons from one of his mother's friends, who had a Ph.D. in music.

1995

Mackey received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1995 from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with Donald Erb.

Mackey lived in New York City from 1995 to 2005, where he collaborated frequently with choreographers such as David Parsons, Robert Battle, and Igal Perry.

1997

He then studied with John Corigliano at Juilliard, receiving a Master of Music degree in 1997.

Mackey has stated his support for these institutions' policies of not requiring composers to perform an instrumental audition, as many composers, like himself, do not play an instrument.

On this subject, Mackey has said, "There are obviously ways to compose music without playing a formal instrument."

2003

However, after attending the College Band Directors National Association conference in Minneapolis, he received a commission to reorchestrate his 2003 orchestral work "Redline Tango" for concert band.

2005

Mackey moved to Los Angeles in 2005.

After reluctantly accepting, he completed the concert band version in 2005, and it became a great success.

Today, Mackey is world-renowned as a concert band composer, and most of his works from the past decade have been for concert band.

He regularly receives commissions from high school bands, college bands, and professional wind ensembles in the United States and Asia.

2008

In April 2008, he announced on his blog his intention to move to Austin, Texas, explaining that much of his income is a result of commissions and other appearances in the Texas area.

2011

Then in March 2011, Mackey posted a blog to announce his move to Cambridge, Massachusetts in order for his wife to attend graduate school.

2019

In 2019, he moved with his wife to San Francisco, California, where he currently resides.

Mackey's first professional work was writing for dance companies.
