Editing Mario Davidovsky (section)

==Biography==
Davidovsky was born in [[Médanos, Buenos Aires|Médanos]], [[Buenos Aires Province]], Argentina, a town nearly 600&nbsp;km southwest of the city of Buenos Aires and close to the seaport of [[Bahía Blanca]]. Aged seven, he began his musical studies on the violin. At thirteen he began composing. He studied composition and theory under {{ill|Guillermo Graetzer|es}} at the [[University of Buenos Aires]], from which he graduated.

In 1958, he studied with [[Aaron Copland]] and [[Milton Babbitt]] at the Berkshire Music Center (now the [[Tanglewood Music Center]]) in Lenox, Massachusetts. Through Babbitt, who worked at the [[Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center]], and others, Davidovsky developed an interest in electroacoustic music. Copland encouraged Davidovsky to emigrate to the United States, and in 1960, Davidovsky settled in New York City, where he was appointed associate director of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. It was at that time he began to compose electo-acoustic works called ''[[Synchronisms (Davidovsky)|Synchronisms]]''.

Most of his published compositions since the 1970s have been nonelectronic. His only published electroacoustic compositions since that time are ''Synchronisms No. 9'' (1988) and ''Synchronisms No. 10'' (1992). However, Davidovsky received a commission by a group led by the [[Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States]] (SEAMUS) to compose two more electroacoustic works in the ''Synchronisms'' series. No. 11 and No. 12 premiered in 2007 at the SEAMUS National Conference in [[Ames, Iowa]].

Davidovsky's association with the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center continued, and from 1981 to 1993 he was the lab's director as well as professor of music at Columbia.<ref name="CNM">{{cite web|url=http://www.collagenewmusic.org/davidovsky.html |title=Mario Davidovsky biography at Collage New Music, Boston |access-date=2006-11-21 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725185712/http://www.collagenewmusic.org/davidovsky.html |archive-date=July 25, 2011 }}</ref> In 1994 he became professor of music at [[Harvard]].<ref name="CNM"/> During his career, Davidovsky has also taught at many other institutions: [[University of Michigan]] (1964), the Di Tella Institute of Buenos Aires (1965), the [[Manhattan School of Music]] (1968–69), [[Yale University]] (1969–70), and the [[City College of New York]] (1968–80).<ref name="CNM"/>
