Brandon Wilhelmsen

Composer| Arranger| Performer | Educator

Brandon Wilhelmsen is a composer, arranger, performer, and educator currently residing in Cincinnati, Ohio. His music explores nature, faith, storytelling, human relationships, and personal experience, often beginning with an idea, image, question, or experience that invites musical exploration. For Wilhelmsen, composition is a process of communication, based on ideas words cannot fully express. He approaches music creation with a curious, intellectual, and expressive style. The result is a musical experience that draws audiences in for connection, inspiration, and healing. His work spans orchestral, chamber, choral, vocal, solo, and electroacoustic music, drawing on his experience as both a composer and performer.
