Dr. Kenyon Wilson

In response to the July 16, 2015 terrorist attack on Chattanooga, Wilson was inspired to compose a work to honor the men who sacrificed their lives for our country. Sixty-nine high school, university, community, military, and brass bands around the world have come together to commission this work. Five honors the lives of Carson A. Holmquist, Randall Smith, Thomas J. Sullivan, Squire K. "Skip" Wells, and David A. Wyatt by concluding with musical representation of the missing-man formation.

A full program for young audiences, Give Me Space is a musical journey through the orchestra culminating with a visit to our five known dwarf planets.

The Heartland Symphony Orchestra of Minnesota selected Subterfuge as its 2014 Composers’ Competition Winner. The competition received submissions from New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Australia, and the United States. "Kenyon Wilson’s composition Subterfuge received the top honor for its clear sense of direction, harmony, structure, and rhythm. All the parts are idiomatic and every player’s or section’s part is equally involved and important in bringing the piece to life." The world premiere of Subterfuge was performanced on HSO’s Spring Concert Series in April 2014.

Commissioned by the Tullahoma High School Band under the direction of Greg English, Synergy is based on the four classical elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.
