DYLAN TRAN is a young Vietnamese-American composer currently based out of New Orleans, LA. His influences are numerous and ever changing, ranging from Hildegard to Ferneyhough and including dubstep, electronica, folk, rock, pop, theatre, and his own Vietnamese heritage. In his few years of composing, Dylan’s pieces have been workshopped and performed by musicians across the country and in Europe. The ‘17-‘18 season saw his film score debut as well as the premiere of a wind quintet for the Loyola Ballet Theatre. Dylan triumphed in the Pacific Edge Voices’ 2018 Call-for-Scores, emerging as one of five composers chosen from 300 submissions, and the only composer to have more than one piece selected. His Mass in E, workshopped in Périguex, France by singers from the Franco-American Vocal Academy, was premiered by PEV in San Francisco in December 2018. His String Quartet No.1 on Vietnamese Themes, composed in fulfillment of a fellowship awarded by the MUSAICA Chamber Ensemble upon winning their 2017 Composition Contest, will be premiered by musicians from the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra in April 2019.
