Forrest Eimold

New York-based composer-keyboardist Forrest Eimold has been hailed as “incredible” and “fearless” by The Boston Musical Intelligencer, “extremely impressive” by Harmonie, and as having “ably responded to the many virtuosic demands" of today’s compositional vanguard by The Washington Post. Forrest’s compositions have been performed by renowned ensembles such as the Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Ensemble Dal Niente, Fonema Consort, Mivos Quartet, and Wet Ink Ensemble. His work embraces our quantized environment in the hopes of pointing to the unbound world latent within it.

Recognized for his exceptional sight-reading and score-reading abilities, Forrest has also played a key role in the world premieres of works by Du Yun, Huang Ruo, Nico Muhly, and many others. He is a recipient of the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts from Columbia University, a Density Labs Fellowship from the Juilliard School, a Blueprint Fellowship from National Sawdust, and multiple awards from the National YoungArts Foundation.

An alum of the dual degree program between the Juilliard School and Columbia University, Forrest currently studies composition at the Yale School of Music. He previously served as Music and Organ Scholar at Trinity Church Wall Street and now works as a staff pianist at the Juilliard School.
