Andrew Strawn is an American composer who writes dramatic music for the concert hall.
Known for his direct melodic style, dynamic orchestration, and evocative harmonic language, his music engages with the audience through romantic, lyrical expression and earnest storytelling. Often drawing from literature and visual art, his works explore topics such as faith, the relationship between joy and sorrow, and changes of soul. |
"[Strawn's music] captured the spirit of composers such as Franz Liszt, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Camille Saint-Saëns and modern American harmonies found in music by Aaron Copland and John Williams."
