Matthäus Crepaz, born in 1985 in Bolzano and living in Ortisei in Val Gardena, is a freelance composer and arranger from South Tyrol/Italy. He received his first music lessons in percussion at the age of seven. In 2006 he graduated on the slide trombone at the music conservatory “Claudio Monteverdi” in Bolzano. He plays in various ensembles: Musikverein St. Ulrich, Urtijëi Brass Quintett, Youth Symphony Orchestra South Tyrol and others.
Initially working as a music teacher in the music school Val Gardena and as a music teacher in the secondary school Ortisei, today he teaches the subjects trombone, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, tuba and musicology in the music schools Val Gardena, Siusi and Chiusa. He also supervises the composition workshop at the music school in Val Gardena.
Since 2007 he has been the conductor of the Kastelruth Music Band and since 2008 of the Orchestra Sonoton Gherdëina.
As a autodidact, he composed his first work with the “Brass Fanfare” in 2006, which has since been followed by many others, mainly commissioned compositions and arrangements. In the process, he covers every musical genre from classical music, film music and band music to folk music, rock and pop. Consequently, his clients come from all genres. He works for professional orchestras as well as amateur orchestras, school orchestras, wind bands, ensembles, choirs and bands. For some time now, he has also dedicated his attention to digitally produced music. However, his great passion is still symphonic orchestral music.
Since 2018, he has regularly created orchestral arrangements for the WDR Radio Orchestra Cologne; a milestone in his composing career so far.
Over the years, Matthäus Crepaz has developed a compositional style of his own. His works are all unique, original, unconventional and unmistakable.
