Originally from Goffstown, New Hampshire, Will Stackpole (b. 1990) is a young American composer whose works have been played across the country. Stackpole began his musical career as an electric guitarist and recording engineer, primarily performing in rock bands in his home state and later in Hoboken, NJ. While attending Stevens Institute of Technology for his undergraduate studies, Stackpole began writing concert music and quickly developed a unique compositional voice. Will spent the next two years studying composition with Justin Dello Joio while working in New York as a freelance composer and orchestrator for theater, film, and television. Stackpole has since refocused his efforts on creating conceptually innovative concert music. His work is made up of an eclectic blend of styles and influences ranging across a wide spectrum, from opera to rock, from Miles Davis to Igor Stravinsky. Will is currently pursuing his Doctorate in composition at The Juilliard School in the studio of Robert Beaser.
