Beau Kenyon earned music composition degrees from Berklee College of Music and Tufts University and has contributed to research in the fields of music cognition, curiosity-based education, and community engagement strategies. He first aligned these four disciplines as Composer-in-Residence for the Boston Public Library (2017), where he created a 40-minute immersive performance installation of live music and dance. His recent piece, Of Gravity and Light (2022) is a 55-minute concert score and staged contemporary ballet that explores the science of the solar system through music, contemporary ballet, and video projection. Kenyon has cultivated a deeply collaborative practice and has worked with choreographers, projection artists, and sculptors across the country as well as with notable institutions, such as PBS, GBH, NASA, SITE Santa, and the MFA.
