“His compositional virtuosity is evident in every bar.” – John Corigliano

Steven Bryant’s music is chiseled in its structure and intent, fusing lyricism, dissonance, silence, technology, and humor into lean, skillfully-crafted works that enthrall listeners and performers alike.  Winner of the ABA Ostwald award and three-time winner of the NBA Revelli Award, his music for wind ensemble has reshaped the genre.

A prolific composer, Bryant's substantial catalogue of music is regularly performed throughout the world.  Recently, his Ecstatic Waters was premiered by the Minnesota Orchestra to unanimous, rapturous acclaim. The son of a professional trumpeter and music educator, he strongly values music education, and his creative output includes a number of works for young and developing musicians.
