Composer William Giegerich lives in Bronx, New York, and studies at Concordia Conservatory in Bronxville, NY and at Special Music School in New York City. At Concordia Conservatory, he has studied composition with Dr. Matt Van Brink since 2017 and has studied chamber music and piano since 2011. William is inspired by film scores and opera, and he is particularly fascinated with the way in which sound can accent or create movement within a story. Thematic in nature, his own work is often based on visual ideas -- as simple as an owl hunting a mouse, or as complicated as running for the sole purpose of stopping. His music tends to be rhythmic and fast-paced atop a slow harmonic rhythm or drone. 

William has written over 15 pieces to date and has been the finalist in both the 2019 and 2021 Morton Gould Young Composer competition as well as winning the 2021 New York State School Music Association's Young Composers Award.  His musical interests also include electronic music and William wishes to pursue a career as a composer of film scores.
