About

Hi, I’m Liam Flaherty, a passionate music composer with a strong background in music technology and composition. I’ve had the privilege to lead ensembles, direct percussion for high school bands, and perform as a musician and composer for various organizations, including the Pittsburgh Steelers drumline. Music has always been a huge part of my life, and I enjoy both performing and creating new pieces.

Currently completing my Master’s in Music Composition at Carnegie Mellon, I also have experience teaching students of all ages, organizing rehearsals, and arranging music. I’m always eager to learn more and collaborate with others who share my love for music.
