Bradley Bosenbeck: Whether composing and arranging for rock and pop music legends, performing and recording with some of the entertainment industry’s biggest television and film stars, concertizing with the classical music world’s leading and upcoming talents, or lending his unique abilities to the hottest Broadway shows, national television programs, and Grammy-Award winning albums – Bradley Bosenbeck is doing just about as much as one can with his musical gifts.
Bradley had already debuted at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and made subsequent tours of the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia before the age of 16. During these formidable years, he was fortunate enough to have collaborated closely with such inimitable talents as Yo-Yo Ma, Jaime Laredo, Charles Dutoit, James Levine, and John Williams among others. He has held the distinct honor to have performed for President Barack Obama, Dr. James Watson and other Nobel Prize winners, the members of the United Nations, and various international dignitaries on numerous occasions. Bradley has long been interested in musical disciplines outside of the classical sphere, and his time with mainstream industry icons has only served to strengthen his passion for music in all its forms. Today, he is quickly emerging as one of the few professional musicians who can straddle multiple genres without missing a beat. He cuts a bold swath through the boundaries of style and genre, switching between classical, bluegrass, country, hip-hop, jazz, rock and pop at a moment’s notice all while retaining his signature flair for creating inspiring, sensitive and deeply personal entertainment experiences. |
