David Hogan (composer)

H. David Hogan (July 1, 1949 – July 17, 1996 off East Moriches, New York) was an American composer and musical director of CIGAP (Le Choeur Int'l Gai de Paris),[1] a choir composed of openly gay men.

[2] Hogan and CIGAP baritone Jean-Paul Galland were killed when TWA Flight 800 exploded off the coast of Long Island, killing all 230 passengers and crew on board.

[1][5] Prior to his work in France, Hogan helped develop the choir at San Francisco's St. Francis Lutheran Church.

[4] When the previous musical director of CIGAP resigned three weeks before its auditions, Hogan was tapped to fill in the position.

The couple had a daughter named Hilary,[1] who also attended the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore.
