Jeffrey Bauer is a composer, arranger, pianist and trombonist. A wide range of musical experiences and activities contribute to his unique compositional style. His education includes a bachelor’s in piano performance from the Peabody Conservatory of Music and a Masters in Musicology from the University of Maryland. In addition to his classical training he has also played trombone and keyboard with a professional rock band that toured extensively on the East Coast. He has collaborated with many musicians from India in creating fusion music that blends elements of Indian classical music with elements of Western classical music. In 2012 he and well-known Indian vocalist Sudeshna Basu joined together for a two-week concert tour in India performing his fusion compositions. Bauer’s fusion compositions were featured in the dance drama “Moha-mudgar” which was performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. in 1995. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the MC and introduced the program.

In 2007 Bauer received an “Individual Artist Award” for excellence in musical composition from the Maryland State Art’s Council accompanied by a Governor’s Citation from then Maryland governor Martin O’Malley.
