C.R. Kasprzyk (kasp-shick) is a composer, saxophonist, free-improviser, amateur photographer, and avid "bring your own bag" grocery shopper. Working toward an intangible parallel between a cognizance of one's surrounding and music transcribed from (or inspired by) that environment, his work has garnered performance credits including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Steinway Hall and others throughout North America, The Netherlands and Belgium. Alongside informal study with Kaija Saariaho, Alvin Lucier, Tristan Murail and John Sampen, he holds a bachelor in music from Grand Valley State University as well two masters degrees from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University. A former faculty member of Morgan State University and Bluefield College, Kasprzyk is currently pursuing his doctorate at Bowling Green State University.
