Peter Seajong Shin (신세종), known professionally as Peter S. Shin, is an American composer. His 8-part vocal work, Bits torn from words, written for Roomful of Teeth was one of four premiere recordings on the GRAMMY Award-winning[1] album, Rough Magic.[2]
In 2025, he was honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship[3] and a Hodder Fellowship[4] at Princeton University. Other honors include both the American Academy of Arts and Letters Charles Ives Scholarship (2023[5]) and Charles Ives Fellowship (2023[6]), Harvard University Fromm Foundation commission (2019[7]), and a MacDowell Fellowship (2025[8]).
Reception
In a review for The New York Times, chief classical music critic Anthony Tommasini wrote about the premiere of Shin’s orchestral work Slant, performed by the New York Youth Symphony in 2018. Tommasini described the piece as “gripping music that boldly shifts from pointillist bursts to whooshing sound effects to eerie passages of wafting string lines,” adding that Shin “manages to pull off something very difficult: evoking a past master’s distinctive voice while sounding entirely fresh and personal.” He concluded, “Mr. Shin is a composer to watch.”[9]
