Hailed by the British magazine Choir & Organ as writing music of “austere beauty” that exhibits the “pressure and presence of personal conviction,” Kevin Siegfried is a composer with an emerging international voice. His music has been described as “timeless,” “ravishing,” and “refined” and is known for its direct expression, lyricism, and accessibility.
Siegfried's music is published by E. C. Schirmer, Earthsongs, and Trinitas and has been performed and recorded by leading ensembles including The Dale Warland Singers and The Tudor Choir. The Tudor Choir's Gentle Words CD, the premiere recording of Siegfried's Shaker song arrangements, received wide acclaim and was praised as “a stunning addition to the repertoire” by Fanfare Magazine. Siegfried has received grants and awards from ASCAP, New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, and The Carlton Savage Endowment's “Waging Peace Through Singing” Competition. 
Siegfried graduated from The New England Conservatory with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Composition. Since 2004, he has been on the faculty of The Boston Conservatory, where he teaches and serves as a vocal coach and musical director.
