Atlanta composer, Curtis Bryant, has composed music in virtually all media from chamber music to choral, orchestral and operatic.  His work for television has led him to explore popular music as well, ranging in style from jazz to gospel and rock, as well as many folk and ethnic styles.  But, if diversity has been a necessity at times, it has not prevented Bryant from developing his own distinctive voice as a composer of serious concert music.  Bryant’s music is solidly tonal in style, often employing modal harmonies which display influences from blues and jazz. His use of form is strongly founded in Classical tradition, which brings about a synthesis of European structures with uniquely American colors.  Bryant has a particularly strong sense of melody, which is at the heart of all his music.  His sense of melodic line has made his music especially well suited to the voice, but he is equally at home with instrumental music.

Armed only with an instrument on his back, he walked into the desert in order to find his life.
veni, monstrabo tibi vias deserti

Stephen Medlar is a craftsman and story-teller – a composer. His music is driven by two distinct relationships and the interactions between them – his relationship with genuine human emotion, and his relationship with the natural world. He has the artistic empathy to appreciate humanity at its highest levels of compassion and beauty, as well as the courage to explore humanity at its most violent and horrible.

Mr. Medlar is a doctoral student in Composition at the University of Oregon and the artistic director of ECCE – the Eugene Contemporary Chamber Ensemble. He holds a masters degree from the University of Georgia, where he was the Vice President of the Student Composers Association, and a teaching assistant. Mr. Medlar completed his bachelors degree at Armstrong State University with a dual concentration in Music Composition and Percussion Performance. His music has been performed in multiple states throughout the U.S and is self-published with Contemporary Art Metal Publications.
