 Hi, I'm Ken DaviesI'm a composer and arranger working
in classical, pop and electronic
music including
orchestral, chamber ensembles, solo voice, chorus, piano and organ. I have worked in the commercial music field performing, arranging for and producing records and music for national television. I presently live in south Mississippi on the part of the Gulf Coast made famous in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. My concert works have won some awards along the way and have been performed across America at major new music festivals like Society of Composers, Southeastern Composers League, Christian Fellowship of Art Music Composers and International Trombone Festival. I've received awards from Mississippi Arts Commission, ASCAP, Southern Arts Federation and Eastern Trombone Workshop. Most of my works are published by me through Kenvad Music. In addition to composing, I still remain active as a trombonist, conductor and private music teacher. I write occasional articles and design websites. I sometimes write my own lyrics, but my wife Judy (a published poet) does better, in addition to managing our publishing activities. Our two cats, Little Fluff and Darius Meow often supervise the creation of new works. As Albert Schweitzer once stated, "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."
