Hiram Navarrete was born in Morelia, Mexico on December 23 1976. He studied composition (B.A.) with Germán Romero at Las Rosas Conservatory of Music in Mexico and briefly attended Walter Zimmermann’s composition seminar at the Universität der Künste in Berlin, Germany. In 2005, he moved to Middletown, Connecticut to start an M.A. in Experimental Music and Composition at Wesleyan University where he had the opportunity to work with Alvin Lucier, Ron Kuivila and Anthony Braxton. A growing interest in sculpture–which became the main subject of his master’s thesis and his recent work–lead him to study with artists Jeffrey Schiff (sculpture) and John Slepian (interactive sculpture). He currently lives and works in Brooklyn. His music has been performed by Jonathan Zorn, Caley Monahon-Ward, Wilfrido Terrazas, Joshua Rubin, BSC Ensemble, the Flux String Quartet and recorded by Kyle Brenders (Flows and Intensities). Recent performances of his work include presentations at the University Chapel (Wesleyan University), Society of the Americas (New York), Heaven Gallery (Chicago), and Teatro Universitario Benito Juarez (Ensenada, Mexico).
