Canadian soprano - from really old music to really new music

Composer and tubist. Listen to my works here!

Chris Thornborrow is an award-winning composer for film, theatre, and the concert stage. 

He is also the wild-boy behind the project Songs of Avelia: Original Soundtracks for Tabletop RPG Adventures.

His work has been described as “heightened and brashly percussive” (Variety), “urgent, masterful” (NOW Magazine), “powerfully virtuosic” (Barcza Blog),  and “elegiac music that casts a spell” (Hollywood Reporter). Recognition for his work includes the Karen Kieser Prize in Canadian Music, multiple SOCAN Awards for Audio Visual Composers, two DORA Award nominations, and the Louis Applebaum Composers Award Nomination.

A huge fan of tabletop games, Chris also composes bespoke orchestral/electronic hybrid music for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns.
