–Jerry Dubins, Fanfare Magazine

Hayden Wayne
World Class Composer/Librettist
Full Biography
Hayden Wayne (born 3/2/49) is a composer/librettist of serious art music (aka “classical”), and may be one of the first of his generation to take the rare route through pop/rock music's highest levels to achieve a firm synthesis of these ideals with classical traditions. He has composed over four hundred compositions, shared the bill with some of the most revered names in the pop/rock world, as well as being a member of the highly controversial glam-rock band, Jobriath. His symphonic and chamber music has been performed in the concert halls of the United States and Europe. His Symphony #4-FUNK was part of the playlist of President Bill Clinton's Air Force One. His recorded output includes eight symphonies of the thus far eleven composed works, ten string quartets and other chamber pieces, as well as a double and quadruple CD eclectic anthology of various song styles..
Jobriath (Video Featured Below) is the name of the seminal New York based “glam-rock” band that performed January-September, 1974. The band featured Bruce Wayne Campbell, an innovative, classically trained pianist and singer, the first openly gay musician signed to a major record label. Highly controversial in its day, Jobriath’s influence on musicians continues forty years later. Musician, composer, activist Hayden Wayne played keyboards with the band.

We promote public awareness of humanism, intelligence and excellence, of recognizing our assets, not just the deficits, that every artist, painter, architect, every scientific thought, every note of music, every level of excellence, whether in the boardroom or the playing field, comes from within us and and is the very essence of our souls.

We promote others by providing links to a wide variety of websites that showcase human accomplishment and expression in the form of praiseworthy human endeavors, visual art, music, architecture, philosophy, written prose, science, history, editorial and anything virutous.
It also features the recordings of composer Hayden Wayne, of whom Jerry Dubin, of Fanfare Magazine, said: "There is nothing that smacks of populist, commercial art. I would place Wayne very high amongst the ranks of major American composers."
I.C.P.N.C.
The INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIVE FOR THE PERPETUATION OF THE NEW CLASSICISM, Inc. (I.C.P.N.C.), EIN # 31-1737690, was established to fund the promotion of new music by composers who have joined the talents of different artists from around the world. The attempt is to generate a new audience for classical music and stem the tide of attrition because the remaining classical loyalists are slowly dying away. These are critical times and something must be done.
Recognizing all disciplines of music worthy of revisiting, the I.C.P.N.C. especially wants to bring attention to the excellence of all folk music of recent generations and, in particular, those that have been expanded upon into full classical and symphonic style.
The composers and artists will represent the best of classical as popular culture, as were the great masters in their own time. This is the new classicism, based on the folk music of the past fifty years, not in leu of the old, but the continuing discovery of anything worth re-visitation regardless of discipline.
