Allister J. McGuire
Allister began composing music during his time at Plattsburgh State University. In 2010, his piece “La Tragedia” was premiered in Quebec and Plattsburgh by the SUNY Plattsburgh Clarinet Choir. He also composed a piece that was used in collaboration with composer Peter Broderick. After an extended hiatus due to a head injury in 2014 that derailed his creative pursuits, Allister began composing again in 2023. He is currently especially interested in working with low clarinetists to expand the repertoire for the instruments.
