Aakash Mittal (born 1985) is an American composer and saxophonist who has won wide acclaim for his work in both areas. He spent his formative years in school bands in Texas and Colorado, and attended the University of Colorado at Boulder before moving to New York City, where he began to establish what has become an innovative and active career. Mittal has performed as a saxophonist and bandleader with several groups, including his own quartet and quintet, around the USA and abroad, often infusing elements of Hindustani music into his playing. He retained this approach as he began composing for wind bands in 2017. Mittal is also an educator who retains a private studio and teaches at several institutions in Brooklyn, where he now lives with his wife and son. He has been widely discussed on the internet, including at his own website, the Kaufman Music Center, the Metropolis Ensemble, the Denver Post, CU Boulder, a great video interview series with the New York State Band Directors Association, Audeze, Fully Altered Media, BKReader, Bomb Magazine, and the Wind Repertory Project.
