Tim Page (music critic)

Tim Page (born October 11, 1954, in San Diego, California) is a writer, editor, music critic, producer and professor. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning music critic, the editor and biographer of the American author Dawn Powell and the chronicler of his own experiences growing up with undiagnosed Asperger syndrome.

Page grew up in Storrs, Connecticut, where his father, Ellis Batten Page, was a professor of education at the University of Connecticut. In 1967, he was the subject of a short documentary, A Day With Timmy Page, that chronicled his early interest in filmmaking.

Page moved to New York in 1975, attended the Mannes College The New School for Music for two years, and then transferred to Columbia University. By the time of his graduation in 1979, Page was writing for the arts magazine Soho News and other publications and hosting a contemporary music program on the Columbia radio station, WKCR. In 1981, he began an 11-year association with WNYC-FM, where he presented an afternoon program that broadcast interviews with composers and musicians, including Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Philip Glass and Steve Reich. An interview with Glenn Gould, comparing the pianist's two versions of Bach's Goldberg Variations, was released as part of a three-CD set entitled A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations 1955 & 1981 in 2002. In 1982, Page joined The New York Times, where he was a music writer and culture reporter until 1987, and he became chief music critic of Newsday in 1987.
