Matthew Schreibeis is a composer whose music explores the emotional landscapes of modern urban life. Spanning orchestral, chamber, vocal, electronic, and multimedia works, his music is distinguished by its dramatic intensity, immersive sonic environments, and fascination with memory, movement, aspiration, and transformation. While rooted in contemporary classical practice, Schreibeis’ music draws inspiration from a broad spectrum of artistic and sonic traditions. In recent years, he has become increasingly interested in the intersections between acoustic and electronic sound, experimental media, production-based listening practices, and the evolving sonic languages of global urban culture.
His works have been performed throughout the US, Europe, and Asia by the Albany Symphony and David Alan Miller, New York New Music Ensemble, Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble, Mivos Quartet, ensemble mise-en, sopranos Tony Arnold and Jamie Jordan, violinists Lina Bahn, Yvonne Lam, Patrick Yim, and Sini Virtanen, pianists Eunmi Ko and Daniel Pesca, and kayagŭm virtuoso Jung Gil-seon, among many others. His Albany Records portrait CD, Sandburg Songs, features soprano Tony Arnold, Zohn Collective, and conductor Tim Weiss. His music is also available on the New Focus and Sinnara labels.
Schreibeis’ artistic voice is shaped as much by the social and sonic realities of urban America as by his years of direct artistic engagement across Asia—particularly in Hong Kong and Korea—resulting in a musical language that is globally informed, stylistically fluid, and deeply personal. Among his recent premieres is Neon Sounds, a multimedia project pairing music with historic Hong Kong neon signs in a large-scale sound-light choreography that brought together musicians, architects, preservationists, lighting designers, and local communities.
Schreibeis is the recipient of the Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Camargo Foundation Fellowship; commissions from the Hanson Institute for American Music, Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; grants from American Composers Forum, the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (GRF Grant), Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Ditson Fund of Columbia University, and the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Pennsylvania; and residencies at MacDowell, Yaddo, Copland House, Virginia Center for Creative Arts, Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts, and Kimmel Harding Nelson Foundation. His music has been featured in portrait concerts in Philadelphia and Seoul.
Deeply involved in international contemporary music exchange and mentorship, Schreibeis organized The Keyboard in the 21st Century, an international contemporary music conference in Hong Kong. He has taught composition at the soundSCAPE Festival in Italy and Toolbox Percussion’s International Creative Academy in Hong Kong and China. He has lectured and given masterclasses throughout North America, Asia, and Australia.
Matthew Schreibeis began his musical studies in Pittsburgh and received degrees from the Eastman School of Music (B.M.) and the University of Pennsylvania (Ph.D.). He serves on the faculty of the Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University.
