Robert Xavier Rodríguez School of Arts and Humanities
Professor of aesthetic studies
The music of Robert Xavier Rodríguez is regularly performed in U.S., European and Latin-American musical centers.
Rodríguez has written in all genres — opera, orchestral, concerto, ballet, vocal, choral, chamber, solo and music for the theater — but he has been drawn most strongly in recent years to works for the stage, including music for children.
He has served as composer in residence for the Dallas Symphony and, most recently, the San Antonio Symphony. He currently holds the endowed chair of University Professor of Music and is director of the Musica Nova ensemble at The University of Texas at Dallas. He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Rodríguez earned a Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) in composition from the University of Southern California.
