Biography

American composer, conductor and systems analyst for the oil industry. He completed at least 50 musical works, including a one-act opera, a ballet suite, orchestral works with chorus, and various smaller works for chorus, piano, chamber ensembles, and art songs. His musical style has been compared to Shostakovich's for its "lofty, inspiring melodies and startling romantic passages".

During his lifetime, his works were performed at Baylor University, Eastern Illinois University, the Moores School of Music, by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for a Composers Conference moderated by Darius Milhaud, and many churches and smaller venues in Texas.

As a performing musician, Avinger conducted and sang in numerous choirs, and was the assistant conductor of the Houston Symphony Chorale.

He died in Houston, Texas, on 18 November 2000.
