Viola Aotearoa features virtuoso presentations of modern New Zealand repertoire for viola, including three previously unrecorded works.
A New Zealander by birth, Timothy Deighton is Assistant Professor of Viola at Penn State University. He maintains a busy performing schedule as a soloist, chamber, and orchestral musician, and is very active as a teacher and clinician.
Having long held a fascination for new music, Deighton has performed American, European, and international premieres of numerous works by contemporary composers, several of which were commissioned by or written for him.
