Uzu and Muzu From Kakaruzu Composer Avner Dorman answers our questions about the Symphony for the School’s program that premiers at Symphony Hall on November 4 and 5.
Avner Dorman was born in Israel. He did not start playing an instrument until he was 9 years old, and he quickly found that he enjoyed creating new melodies rather than just playing what was written. He has composed many notable pieces, and he wrote Uzu and Muzu as a commission for the Stockton Symphony in Stockton, California.
