Lawrence Mumford

Lawrence Mumford’s music, published by eight different companies, has premiered in cities across the country. Movements from his Symphony No. 4 have recently become a part of  the broadcast libraries of the largest classical radio stations in Boston, Washington DC,  Cleveland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other cities, and have been played repeatedly — even  being included in two stations’ “Ultimate Playlist.” This music is also available on major streaming services including Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music.  

Other symphonic works have been performed and recorded by various organizations, and the University of California at Irvine Symphony chose his Symphony No. 3 for a world premiere.  He has been in the winner’s circle, a finalist, or a semifinalist for The American Prize 13 times. He has also composed for choral groups, chamber ensembles, and for producers at 20th-21st Century Fox in Hollywood, and several of his original orchestral themes played daily on radio in over 50 cities nationwide for 14 years. Earlier in his career he placed a popular song on a Billboard #1 album and received an award for Record of the Year.  

He earned a doctorate in music composition from the University of Southern California and currently works as a university music professor in greater Los Angeles.
