Nu-Classical:  Modern concert music with the essence of jazz, rock, funk, Latin, and beyond.

"For several decades now, the culture of the so called 'art music' genre, which, in most cases might more aptly be called 'academic music', has been to shun anything which might be construed as being accessible enough to be sold to the general public. Becker KB (composer and piano virtuoso) is a refreshing exception to this trend… [His music] displays a lot of theoretical, compositional, and performance mastery, while avoiding the common pitfall of being out of touch with what people want to hear."
-Philip Cornell, Asterisked Music Journal

"Mr. Becker's style is evidently steeped in multiple genres but is not mere eclecticism. Rather, his compositions are a clear distillation of very personal musical impulses...I think music like that [of Becker's] is worthwhile to the masses of listeners on the fringe of [classical] music because it challenges definitions and breaks down barriers between the music they are familiar with and that which they have never heard (most [classical] music)…[It] is undeniably evident that Becker KB is a uniquely talented musician."
-Garrett Schumann, Sequenza21.com

"Becker coined his mishmash of classical structures and popular inclinations 'nu-classical,' but not in the traditional sense of executing one style in another one's framework. Becker's nu-classical is a genuine blend that results in a sound that seems not to be associated exclusively to conventions of the past. Rather, it reinvents what it means to fuse these elements synergistically." 
-Joel Luks, CultureMap

Christian Guebert is a composer and music educator from Orange, California. His commissioned works include published and award-winning pieces, settings, and orchestrations for instrumental and choral ensembles. His music aims for immediacy, thoughtfulness, idiomatic performing style, and sonic depth. 

A prolific program director, he heads several yearly concert series including community handbell ensemble concerts and sacred music festivals, and he has served as adjudicator and clinician for handbell topics including several teaching appointments at National Seminars of Handbell Musicians of America. Guebert holds an MM degree (Cal State University, Fullerton, 2013, composition) and a Parish Music Certification (2015) and BA (2010) from Concordia University, Irvine, CA; he is now a PhD student in composition at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music where he is a teaching associate for advanced musicianship and theory courses.

Aside from current doctoral work, he also serves as music director at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Orange and adjunct professor at Concordia University Irvine (where he served as Composer-in-Residence). Recent publications include a handbell piece (Glad Adoration, Lorenz) and an orchestration of a choral work (Peter Anglea’s Silent Night, Beckenhorst). 

Recent works include a commissioning project as a Composition Fellow with Orange County-based Choral Arts Initiative, culminating in a March 2019 premiere of a large choral song cycle of Walt Whitman sea poetry set with harp and handbell ensemble (Voyaging, 2019), which incorporates “The Untold Want,” the prizewinning piece of the 2017 Pacific Chorale Young Composers Competition, performed by the John Alexander Singers.
