about me
Inspired by everyday life, Chicago-native Ty Bloomfield (b. 2000) looks towards simplicity for inspiration. Since his start in 2019, Bloomfield has written numerous works for winds, primarily focused on wind ensemble and miniature-based chamber works. His works have been commissioned from many of his peers and received performances at several festivals such as the International Clarinet Association’s New Music Weekend and ISU’s Red Note Festival. Currently, he is currently pursuing his bachelor’s degree in music composition at the Wonsook Kim College of Fine Arts at Illinois State University where he has studied with Dr. Roger Zare, Dr. Carl Schimmel, and Dr. Roy Magnuson.
As an educator, Bloomfield often engages with the community to share the love of creating music. He teaches beginning composition, piano, saxophone, and oboe lessons. In 2022, he helped start up ISU’s new music RSO, the Society of Redbird Composers, and served as the president. Bloomfield also is a proud member of Millennium Composer Initiative and ASCAP.
In the future, Bloomfield plans to help the next generation of composers, especially those of other underrepresented groups, find their voice through music, as well as encourage them to not shy away from speaking their mind with the medium of their choice.
