I'm Dale Trumbore, a composer and writer based in Southern California. I make my living composing, writing, and speaking about my work.

​

I compose most frequently for chorus, though recent projects have included works for orchestra, band, and chamber ensemble. This is the piece I'm proudest to have written, and these are my newest choral works.

​

I often write about working through creative challenges. My first book, Staying Composed, has been called "a treasure trove of practical strategies for moving your artistic career forward" and is now available as an audiobook.

​

Upcoming projects for 2022-23 include a ballet for solo piano, a second album of art songs, new arrangements for band and orchestra, and a concert-length work for choir & singing audience.
