Hi, I’m Kieran Casey, a passionate composer and director with a background in music composition and new media. I love blending traditional orchestration with modern technology, creating unique pieces for ensembles, solo instruments, and media projects. I’m currently deepening my skills at the Peabody Conservatory and enjoy teaching and collaborating with others in the music community. My work spans across large orchestras, chamber ensembles, solo instrumental pieces, and computer music. I’m always eager to explore new creative ideas, participate in workshops, and develop commissioned works that connect with audiences in meaningful ways.
