Tim Corpus: Composer, Sound Designer, Arts Manager

Crushing Classical

Tim Corpus is an internationally performed composer, sound designer, and arts manager who calls Chicago home. Highlights include performances at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and features on CNN Money, BBC Radio3, and 98.7 WFMT among others. His album, “MMXX”, was shortlisted for the 2022 Grammy awards and hailed as “a striking disc” by critic Robert Hugill.

Also a composer for film and games, his music has received awards from festivals around the country. Beyond his own compositions, Tim is an active orchestrator and arranger having worked with Andrea Bocelli, Placido Domingo, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony, Third Coast Percussion, and others.

His diverse career in the arts has also included leading arts organizations as an Executive Director and board member, and teaching at Loyola University Chicago and Chicago City Colleges.

I loved talking portfolio careers with Tim - he’s right down in the weeds of how you build a thriving life as a creator, a performer, an arts manager - how you take care of yourself both inside and out, and how you get things done when there are a million things pulling at you.

I know you will love this conversation!
