A passionate advocate for the "indie classical" community in New York and beyond, much of Judd's work is written for the virtuosic performers who make up that community, and is tailored to their specific talents and abilities. His work has been heard at venues such as the Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music, Amsterdam's Musiekgebouw, the Bang on a Can Marathon, and the MusicNOW festival; major recent commissions include those from Carnegie Hall, Present Music, ETHEL, the Seattle Chamber Players, yMusic, and Roomful of Teeth, as well as a 30-minute work for the Minnesota Orchestra's Inside the Classics series. His work, "Change", for NOW Ensemble, was recently chosen as one of NPR Music's "100 Favorite Songs of 2011".
