Irwin Heilner
Irwin Heilner (b. New York City, May 14, 1908; d. January 18, 1991) was an American composer of contemporary classical music. His works are published by American Composers Alliance.[1][permanent dead link]
Heilner lived in Brooklyn, New York. In 1932 he was a member of the Young Composers' Group, which was founded by the composer Elie Siegmeister and which met regularly at the home of the composer Aaron Copland.[2] Heilner studied with Nadia Boulanger beginning in the late spring of 1932, having been recommended by Aaron Copland.[3] The two did not get along, however, and his planned three years of study lasted for just three months.[4] His music was conducted and recorded by William Strickland.
