Jonathan Kramer came to Columbia in 1988, having previously taught at the Oberlin Conservatory, Yale University, and the University of Cincinnati.

As a scholar of music theory, his research interests include time, meter, and rhythm, in particular complex ratio rhythms, and he has a book in progress on music and postmodernism. As a composer, he works mainly with chamber and orchestral media. Professor Kramer has received fellowships and grants from the NEA (1977, 1984, 1988), the NEH (1976, 1985-86, 1992-93) and other organizations, has won many competitions, and received numerous commissions.
