Jim Berenholtz is a composer of music for theatre, dance, film and the concert stage. He graduated Amherst College in 1979 with a degree in composition and ethnomusicology, and has devoted his musical life to the cross-cultural fusion of Western and non-Western musical instruments and styles. He is a member of the American Composers Alliance, the composer of the Native American opera "Buffalo Nation", and co-founder of the musical duo Xochimoki, a leading force since the 1980's in the revival of the ancient music of the Aztec, Maya and other pre-Columbian civilizations. He is a veteran performer with the Los Angeles Music Center On Tour, and has given concerts at peace conferences and sacred sites throughout the world, including at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
