Kenneth Fuchs is an American composer and conductor who began his career in the late 20th century, working primarily in contemporary classical music with a repertoire that spans orchestral, chamber and solo works often influenced by jazz and popular idioms. His work is characterised by lyrical, tonal writing, rich orchestral colour and the incorporation of jazz harmony and improvisatory elements, evolving from intimate chamber pieces to larger-scale orchestral compositions and occasional projects for media.
