Anthony Joseph Lanman

Anthony Joseph Lanman has become one of his generation's most dynamic composers of contemporary concert music. Embracing his background in rock and metal, he has forged a new sound for a new generation, praised by Gramophone Magazine as "Intense" and by The Strad as "Wild, Edgy and Raw to Contemplative, Sonorous and Seductive". The Contemporary Recording Society says, ""It is through his heartfelt instincts, and not random experiments in sound, that Lanman has come up with something genuinely new". It is Anthony's aim to create new music that will be accessible to a wide audience of music lovers and connoisseurs alike.

Born in 1973 in Des Moines, Iowa, and raised in Houston, Texas, Anthony received his BM in composition at the University of Texas, and an MM and DM in composition from Indiana University. Mr. Lanman is also an active performer on both the classical guitar and 8-string electric guitar.
