Born in Hollywood CA on April 26, 1941, American classical composer John Mitchell has written works for solo piano and organ, choral music, chamber music, operas, and more than 400 art songs over the course of his life. Mitchell comes from an artistic family, his father being pianist John Stewart Mitchell, and Canadian novelist W. O. Mitchell and Hungarian-born singer Teresa Hideg Mitchell, his cousins.
Mitchell studied composition under the guidance of Dr. John Vincent, the successor of Arnold Schoenberg as professor of composition at the University of California,
Los Angeles until 1965. From there, he went on to work as a church music director, organist, opera coach, and composer, all of which he continues.
A member of the American Guild of Organists, the American Music Center, and the Center for Promotion of Contemporary Composers, Mitchell currently resides
in Los Angeles CA with his wife, artist Vicky Brago-Mitchell, and three cats, Bella, Arthur, and James.
