About the composer
Bryan Grob (b. 1985) is a Swiss composer who studied composition privately with Rudolf Kelterborn. In 2005, he received First Prize at the Camerata Zürich Composition Competition.
Following studies in theoretical geophysics at ETH Zürich, he pursued a career in consulting alongside his musical activities. His compositions have received several international distinctions, including three prizes in 2025.
Grob’s music is characterised by motivic development and evolving formal processes: small pitch and intervallic cells generate larger structures through transformation, fragmentation and redistribution. His harmonic language avoids fixed tonal hierarchies, favouring shifting centres of tension, while changes in texture, register and density articulate formal transitions.
