Dylan Mattingly

• Composer

  • Mar 1997 - Present

  Called “visionary magic” by Susan Scheid, composer Dylan Mattingly’s work is fundamentally ecstatic, committed to the extremes of human emotion, drawing from influences such as Olivier Messiaen, Joni Mitchell, and the microtonal folk singing of Polynesian choirs and the Bayaka of Central Africa. Among the ensembles and performers who have commissioned Mattingly are the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, the Berkeley Symphony, the Del Sol String Quartet, John Adams, Marin Alsop, Contemporaneous, Sarah Cahill, and many others. Mattingly holds a B.A. in Classical Greek and a B.M. in Music Composition from Bard College. He holds an M.M. in Music Composition from The Yale School of Music, where he studied with David Lang, Martin Bresnick, and Christopher Theofanidis, and is mentored as well in Berkeley by composer John Adams. Mattingly is also an avid painter, poet, and pitcher, having played for Bard College’s first ever baseball team.​ Mattingly, whose work has been described as “gorgeous” and “beautifully crafted” by the San Francisco Chronicle, was the Musical America “New Artist of the Month” for February 2013. In 2016, he was awarded the prestigious Charles Ives Scholarship by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Mattingly also received both the Ezra Laderman Prize and the Philip Francis Nelson Prize from the Yale School of Music in 2016. Among the other awards Mattingly has won include the first prize in the 2011 New York Art Ensemble Young Composer’s Competition, 2010 First Prize for Composition from the Pacific Musical Society, The 2009 Helen C. Elliot Award for Composition from the Pacific Musical Society, Finalist in the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer’s Award in 2010 and 2012, and a Finalist in Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and WQXR’s “Project 440.” Show less
