Corey Chang, described as “a major composer…of his generation” by The Millbrook Independent, holds awards from ASCAP and The Golden Key Music Festival, as he continues to rise as a figure in the 21st century music scene.

Polisi “Artist as Citizen” prize. Chang is currently a doctoral student and Associate Instructor of Composition at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music.    Taking a break from his musical activities, Chang enjoys exercising, kung fu, chess and partaking in thoughtful, introspective conversations with anyone he meets!
