Tyson Gholston Davis began composing at the age of eight, and entered the University North Carolina School of the Arts as a high school freshman. When he was only nineteen, he worked with famed conductor Antonio Pappano and the National Youth Orchestra of the USA on the premiere his Delicate Tension, which was commissioned by the American Embassy in Berlin for the 30th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and then performed in Berlin, Edinburgh, and Hamburg. Since then, his work has been presented and commissioned by the Kennedy Center (for the Juilliard Quartet), Albany Symphony, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Eighth Blackbird, WQXR Radio, New York New Music Ensemble, Metropolis Ensemble, and other leading artists.
