Life
Born 1977. From a young age, Kevin was always interested in music. His father, while recognizing his talent, strove to direct his efforts toward more practical endeavors like science, math, or even law. For many years, Kevin struggled with adhering to his father’s wishes, and being true to his inherent talents. He taught himself how to play piano, oboe, tuba, and clarinet. He studied trumpet. As he grew older, he studied opera as a a lyric tenor and performed for several years. In time, he moved from the realm of performance to composition. In a mutually beneficial alliance, Kevin Cornelius has recently collaborated with playwright, Brad Allison to create a new musical, Consequences. Consequences, completed in 2006, is an adaptation of Mr. Allison’s play of 1996 dealing withloss and deception involving three gay men and a woman. He has also composed orchestral works (Thanksgiving, Images of a Scorpio, Signature of a Dream) and chamber works (String Quintete No. 1, Chaos, and Thing).
