Brian Wilbur Grundstrom’s compositions for film, orchestra, piano,
quintet and other ensembles demonstrate an innovative use of harmony and
melody, which although firmly rooted in the tonal tradition is entirely
new. Classically trained in piano as well as music theory from
Gettysburg College, he has continued orchestration and composition
studies with John David Earnest. His awards include Encore from American
Composers Forum and ASCAPLUS from ASCAP. He is also a grant recipient
from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities, an agency supported
in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. A member of ASCAP, Brian
attended the prestigious prestigious ASCAP/NYU Buddy Baker Film Music
Workshop. He has composed music for 2 Minutes Later, a full feature by
Robert Gaston, in addition to a number of short films. He is a recent
recipient of a Bronze Peer Award from the Television, Internet, and
Video Association of Washington D.C. (TIVA) for the musical underscore
in Sadie’s Waltz.

His music has been performed by SONOS Chamber Orchestra, Shippensburg
Festival Orchestra, Trinity Chamber Orchestra, George Washington
University Orchestra, NIH Philharmonia, Holyoke Civic Symphony, Colla
Voce and The New Jersey Gay Men’s Chorus. In November 2007, a full
program of his music was presented at The Millennium Stage of The
Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
