Douglas J. Cuomo has composed highly acclaimed and original music for concert and theatrical stages, television, and film. His music, with influences from jazz, world music, classical, and popular sources, is as personal, distinctive, and recognizable as it is wide-ranging. His compositions range from well-known television themes - for Sex and the City and Now with Bill Moyers, among others - to evening-length works for theater, including Arjuna's Dilemma, an opera-oratorio based on the story of the Bhagavad Gita.
