Born (1995) and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Anthony Constantino’s music has been hailed by The New York Times as “plush, cinematic, and animated.” Anthony has written for a variety of ensembles ranging from chamber to orchestral, vocal, and electroacoustic. His music has received numerous accolades and has been performed in prestigious venues, schools, and summer festivals internationally and within the United States such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.

He has participated in many commissions and collaborations with organizations and ensembles such as the Russian String Orchestra, Tucson Symphony Orchestra, The Kennett Symphony of Chester County, and the Arizona Repertory Singers. At the age of 16, Anthony received a commission from Carnegie Hall as part of the Carmina Burana Choral Project to write a new work for choir and orchestra which was premiered in Stern Auditorium, February 2012. Shortly after, Anthony was selected as a 2014 YoungArts Winner out of 11,000 applicants. He has also been recognized at the national level by the Music Teachers National Association as a Composition Award Winner.

Anthony’s music draws from a wide scope of American influences, combining the driven coolness of the west coast with the wild passion of the east coast. Mixing sweeping lyricism with jarring dissonance, his style aims to connect on a deeply emotional level. Anthony completed his Bachelor of Music at Manhattan School of Music studying with Richard Danielpour. He is currently continuing his studies at the graduate level at UCLA.
