Born in Cuba in 1959, Martín settled in the U.S. in 1965 and has been a citizen since 1984. Educated at Yale College (BA) and Columbia University (DMA), he has received honors from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Cintas Foundation, the Bogliasco Foundation, the NEA, the Ditson Foundation; residencies at Yaddo, and awards from ASCAP, Meet the Composer, and the American Music Center. His one-act opera "Tobermory" won the National Opera Association's top prize in 1992 and has since been performed around the country. Besides operas (Before Night Falls, Beast and Superbeast), Martín composes in all genres and has received numerous commissions. For recordings see the discography.
