Groundbreaking Peabody Award-winning conversation about the big questions of meaning, hosted by Krista Tippett. Every Thursday a new discovery about the immensity of our lives — and frequent special features like poetry, music and Q + A with Krista.

Brian Wilbur Grundstrom’s compositions for film, orchestra, opera, chorus, piano, quintet and other ensembles demonstrate an innovative use of harmony and melody, which although firmly rooted in the tonal tradition is entirely new. Audiences take to his compositions immediately, finding in his compositions traces of Aaron Copland, Kurt Weill and Samuel Barber. 

Classically trained in piano as well as music theory from Gettysburg College, he has continued orchestration and composition studies with John David Earnest (see photo below).

His awards include Encore from American Composers Forum, ASCAPLUS from ASCAP and Composers Assistance Program from the American Music Center. He received four grants from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities , an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, and won Outstanding Emerging Artist in the 2013 DC Mayor's Arts Awards. Brian received Peer Awards for Sadie's Waltz and Arc of Light: A Portrait of Anna Campbell Bliss from Television, Internet, & Video Association of DC (TIVA-DC). The Bridge Club song from his Musical Pepe! The Mail Order Monkey Musical was nominated for a 2009 OUTMusic Award

A member of ASCAP, Brian attended the prestigious prestigious ASCAP/NYU Buddy Baker Film Music Workshop. His features include Arc of Light: A Portrait of Anna Campbell Bliss, and 2 Minutes Later, in addition to writing music for many short films. His studio includes the latest in technologies, including Vienna Symphonic Library, and he is able to render his orchestral compositions at high professional standards.

His music has been performed by Sunderman Woodwind Quintet, SONOS Chamber Orchestra, North/South Consonance, Shippensburg Festival Orchestra, Trinity Chamber Orchstra, George Washington University Orchestra, NIH Philharmonia, Holyoke Civic Symphony, The Queer Urban Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra of Northern Virginia, Colla Voce and The New Jersey Gay Men’s Chorus as well as on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage. 

Edward Tyndall, Writer/Director of Sadie's Waltz (Mobius Films) writes: "It was a joy to work with Brian on my last two projects. His dedication to the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the creative process greatly increased the dramatic complexity of my films. Brian has an amazing talent for composing cinematic scores. I look forward to working with him on our next film."

Sonos Chamber Orchestra Director Erik E. Ochsner writes "Many audiences cringe at the thought of new music. We had such positive feedback from audiences on how much they enjoyed Grundstrom's work. It is modern, yet tonal." 

Brian is currently writing an opera for Ernest Hemingway's For Whom The Bell Tolls. He is represented by Jeffrey James Arts Consulting and his compositions can be heard at www.brianwilbur.com.
