Josh Trentadue.

biography.

JOSH TRENTADUE (b. 1994) is a composer & arranger whose music is defined by its skillfully-crafted orchestration, percussive & rhythmic drive, emotionally ethereal lyricism, harmonic resonance, and meditative ambience. Trentadue’s influences & inspirations range everywhere from indie, jazz, and rock music to neoromantic, cinematic, and contemporary classical genres.

Trentadue’s compositions & arrangements have been regularly commissioned & performed in the United States of America, Japan, Canada, Australia, and more. Many of these works have also been performed at The Midwest Clinic, the American Bandmasters Association Convention, the Cortona Sessions for New Music, CBDNA, the North American Saxophone Alliance Conference, PASIC, and more. Short films that Trentadue has scored have received screenings at the British Film Institute Future Film Festival, the TIDE Film Festival, the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, and the Asian Film Festival - Los Angeles.

Trentadue has received awards, recognition, & honorable mentions from The American Prize, the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards, the Music Publishers Association of the United States, Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame, the Dallas Winds Brass Fanfare Competition, and the Manhattan Summer Winds (formerly Columbia Summer Winds) Outdoor Composition Contest. Several of Trentadue’s arrangements have been selected for JWPepper’s Editors’ Choice series.

Trentadue additionally enjoys an active career as an orchestrator, engraver, & music copyist. He has assisted Tiberio Music Design & Publishing with preparations for live-to-film music concerts including "Cinema Paradiso", "The Goonies", "Get Happy: A Judy Garland Centennial Celebration", and Ron Howard’s adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" starring Jim Carrey. He provided additional orchestrations & arrangements for "America’s Wonders", the world’s first 3D IMAX-style cinematic journey with live orchestra celebrating America’s most breathtaking national parks and cities.
