Dylan Trần

Dylan Trần (1994-) is a multi-media artist based out of New Orleans, LA. He views music as a form of world-building, poignantly evoking nuanced atmospheres within an intimately expressive writing style. At home among intersections, Dylan is unrestrained by genre, drawing on his vast experience as a performer on the opera stage, in chamber and concert choirs, new and early music ensembles, rock bands, funk bands, folk bands, film music, ethnomusicological foyers into his own Việt heritage, and more. His piece “dear heart,” was awarded Honorable Mention for Chorus Austin’s 2021 Young Composers Competition (Austin, TX), and his piece “beautiful out here” has been listed as a finalist in the 2021 Springfield Chamber Chorus Composition Competition (Springfield, MO). He has been accepted into both the Salastina Sounds Promising Young Composers Program (Los Angeles, CA) as well as the Alba Composition Program (Alba, Italy) and was a semifinalist for the 2021 Helene Wurlitzer Foundation’s Artist Residency (Taos, NM). So far, in 2022, Dylan has been commissioned by LA-ACDA, St. James Episcopal Church (Baton Rouge, LA), and baritone Andre Chang. This May, he will be visiting Cincinnati, OH, stepping into the studio with M° Brett Scott and Coro Volunte to record his piece A Soldier's Grave, which will be featured on ABLAZE Records’ upcoming album, “New Choral Voices Vol. 6”. He is a member of the American Composers Forum, the Millennium Composers Initiative, and ASCAP.
