About Me

Eric Paździora (b. 1981) is a composer whose music has been performed and published around the world. Reviewers have described his compositions as “fresh, exciting, and well-crafted” (Pastoral Music) and “an instant classic” (Global Christian Worship). He holds a doctorate in composition from the University of Maryland, where he studied with Mark Edwards Wilson. He was also a student of Mark Engebretson, Alejandro Rutty, and Edwin T. Childs. Additionally, he is a graduate of the European American Musical Alliance summer composition program in Paris, studying with pupils of Nadia Boulanger. His D.M.A. dissertation, a one-act Scots-language chamber opera entitled House of Winter, tells the story of a woman’s struggle with dementia. Other compositions similarly examine the balance between ancient traditions and contemporary concerns. The choral cycle Canticles for the Holy Innocents, composed in memory of child abuse victim Lydia Schatz, was premiered by Chorosynthesis Singers for their “Empowering Silenced Voices” concert series. Eric has also collaborated on several song cycles with award-winning author Jane Yolen. In addition to his composing, rves as organist and pianist at Epworth UMC in Gaithersburg, MD, and teaches piano and composition lessons.
