COLIN MCALLISTER

Please check out my new album on Guide Tone Records, in rivers north of the future, a deeply personal collection bringing together music I have carried for decades with compositions and arrangements of more recent vintage.

​

I'm a classical and jazz guitarist, and conductor of contemporary ensemble music. For over 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, a chamber musician and with various orchestras. I also write about apocalypticism, with an emphasis on the medieval period, and have published several books, including the Cambridge Companion to Apocalyptic Literature. 

 

I serve as Director of Humanities and an Associate Professor of Music at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, where I direct the Sagitta Guitar Ensemble and organize the Solertia Humanities Speaker Series.
