COLIN MCALLISTER

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my website! I'm a classical and jazz guitarist, and occasional conductor, For 25 years I've been a member of the San Diego-based new music ensemble NOISE, and a co-curator of the soundON Festival since 2007. I perform regularly as a soloist, and with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, the Hennessy 6 jazz sextet, and guitarist Wayne Wilkinson. I also write about apocalypticism, with an emphasis on the Mediaeval period, and have published several books, including the Cambridge Companion to Apocalyptic Literature. I am the founding director of the annual Through a Glass Darkly Symposium, which alternates between Colorado Springs and Montreal, Quebec.

 

I serve as Director of Humanities and an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, where I direct the Sagitta Guitar Ensemble and organize the Solertia Humanities Speaker Series. My wife Barbara and I live in the beautiful mountain town of Manitou Springs, Colorado, where we are always trying to best our own PR on the Incline.
