Ty Bloomfield (b. 2000) is a multimedia composer, educator, and curator originally from Chicago, IL.

His works have been presented internationally at festivals and venues, including the DiMenna Center for Classical Music, the Ear Taxi Composer Festival, Avaloch Farm Music Institute, the Dublin International Chamber Music Festival, and the the International Clarinet Association New Music Weekend.

He is the recipient of a Harvard University Fromm Foundation Fellowship, the Karen Slack Prize, a two-time ASCAP Morton Gould Award finalist, a 2024-2025 NATS Mentorship Program for Composers fellow, and a 2022-2023 JACK Studio fellow.
