ABOUT
THE MAESTRO
JARROD RADNICH
Jarrod Radnich is a music composer, arranger, pianist, producer, educator, and innovator.
Radnich is an international bestselling author of instrumental music arrangements, was featured at the Emmy Awards and on NBC’s Today Show, is ranked #1 for instrumental artists globally by ReverbNation, has captured the top position on YouTube for solo piano performance, and—with over a half-billion video viewers worldwide—is considered “The most popular pianist in the world.” For almost a decade, millions of visitors to Disneyland’s Tomorrowland were able to see and hear him perform his extremely popular medley arrangement of music from Pirates of the Caribbean—“live” on a player piano in the Dream Home of the Future. Radnich’s newest film score has been garnering him many international awards, including a prestigious GLOBAL MUSIC AWARD, a CRYSTAL PINE AWARD nomination alongside John Williams, an ACCOLADE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE, and winning the WILLIAMSBURG INTERNATIONAL FILM & MUSIC COMPETITION, among many others.
Radnich prolifically composes original scores and arrangements for live theater, commercials, concert performances, and film, and will soon release a series of new musical works for both solo piano and full orchestra, entitled 21st Century Classics. Radnich was sought out by composer and multi-platinum producer Paul O’Neill (Aerosmith, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) to perform in TSO and begin work on creating a new “mega band” and Broadway musical projects, which are currently on hiatus due to O’Neill’s unexpected passing. Radnich’s compositions range from those written for a short commercial jingle to those lasting the length of a several-hour motion picture or play, and they may include instrumentation ranging from the simplicity of a few well-chosen instruments to the complexity and depth of a full African choir accompanying a large symphony orchestra.
Radnich has performed at venues such as Lincoln Center and The Music Center at Strathmore; where his original music and arrangements served as the launching pad for his Virtuosic Piano Solo Series™. These compositions are performed around the globe and are often included in music proficiency exams at the collegiate level. Most recently, Sweden has adopted some of his works for inclusion in their public school music curriculum.
Philanthropically, Radnich volunteers as the President and Artistic Director of the Hi-Desert Cultural Center in Joshua Tree and as Maestro of the Joshua Tree Philharmonic.
