Easley Blackwood studied with Olivier Messiaen, Paul Hindemith, and Nadia Boulanger. He took a position at University of Chicago in 1958 and received many awards and prizes. His career as a pianist was marked by a challenging repertoire that included the second sonatas of Charles Ives and Pierre Boulez as well as solo works by Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern.
