About
T. Gregory Bloomfield is a multimedia composer and educator whose work is recognized for its “unpredictable” (Third Coast Review) qualities. Through distorted time and meters, obscured melodies, and delicate and hazy harmonies, he creates a variety of electric, meditative environments for the mind to become lost within. Working with a collaborative-first mindset, his projects are often combined with elements from across different mediums, including poetry, art, and dance.
The recipient of accolades including the Harvard University’s Fromm Foundation Fellowship and the GSVC Karen Slack Prize, he has collaborated with ensemble and organizations such as the New Jersey Symphony, American Composers Orchestra, JACK Quartet, the Rhythm Method, Hypercube, Unheard-Of//Ensemble, Lati2de, PART, and the Owen/Cox Dance Group. His works have been featured internationally at festivals and venues including: the DiMenna Center for Classical Music (NY), CBDNA (MI), U.S. Navy Band Saxophone Symposium (VA), Ear Taxi New Music Festival (IL), Avaloch Farm Music Institute (NH), Lake George Music Festival (NY), Hill Auditorium (MI), Dublin International Chamber Music Festival (Ireland), International Trombone Festival (Canada), International Clarinet Association New Music Weekend, and the Red Note New Music Festival (IL).
He has been a composer fellow at the TAK LAB, Edward T. Cone Institute, ACO Earshot New Music Readings, CCI, Composers Conference, the NATS Mentorship Program for Composers, Suncoast Composer Fellowship Program, and the JACK Quartet Studio. Upcoming projects includes a new electroacoustic work for Matt Albert (Cabrillo Festival, Nu Deco) and Linsday Kesselman (Haven Trio), a piece for TAK Ensemble and self-recorded video, a new project for Ensemble Vim and dance company Glo Productions, and an orchestra work for the Curtis Symphony Orchestra.
Bloomfield has studied composition and electronic music at Illinois State University (B.M.) and the University of Michigan (M.M.), where he received the Dorothy Greenwald Fellowship. His primary teachers include Bright Sheng, Michael Daugherty, and Carl Schimmel. In Fall 2026, he will begin further graduate studies in composition at the Curtis Institute of Music.
