# Boston School (music)

The Boston School (also called the Stravinsky School) was a group of composers, most of them Jewish, from Boston, Massachusetts who were influenced by the neoclassicism of Igor Stravinsky:

* Arthur Berger
* Irving Fine
* Lukas Foss
* Alexei Haieff
* Harold Shapero
* Claudio Spies
* Leonard Bernstein
* Ingolf Dahl
* John Lessard
* Louise Talma

Many of them studied with Nadia Boulanger. Irving Fine described the music of Stravinsky and his followers as "diatonic and tonal or quasi-modal", pandiatonic, and concerned with chord spacing and rhythm.
