Bradley de Lucia

About

In less than a decade of composing Bradley de Lucia has written over 350 original works of various genres and styles, from medieval canons to full-length horror movie soundtracks. His music strives for a combination of lyrical sunniness and methodical inventiveness. A staunch champion of tonality and classical forms, de Lucia grounds himself in thorough studies of music, history, psychology, and the philosophies behind them all in the hopes of retaining and revitalizing the sublime, consoling, and beautiful within the tradition of music. Growing up in Lacey, Washington, he taught himself how to play the piano and write music, making his debut as a composer through the Seattle Symphony's Young Composers Workshop, where three years in a row he received commissions and premieres of his chamber works. He also works as a conductor, arranger, and an active mentor for all things music for many throughout his community. Bradley is a Composition M.M. student and GTA at the University of Denver, with a B.M. in composition from the Berklee College of Music.
