Stuart Greenbaum

The Stuart Greenbaum sound has overt connections to jazz, pop and minimalism, while remaining firmly grounded in the Western art-music tradition. Born in Melbourne in 1966, Greenbaum studied composition with Brenton Broadstock and Barry Conyngham at the University of Melbourne, where he became Professor of Composition and led the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music’s composition program as Head of Composition from 2007 to 2023; he is now Professor Emeritus. His catalogue exceeds 245 works, including six symphonies, seven concertos, nine string quartets and two operas, heard across all the major Australian orchestras. His orchestral work 90 Minutes Circling the Earth won Orchestral Work of the Year at the 2008 Classical Music Awards. Recent highlights include the North American premiere of his piano work Ice Man at Carnegie Hall (2024) and a 2025 residency in Quebec.
