Anthony Burnham, Interim Artistic Director

Anthony Burnham is an active composer, arranger, and educator based in Richmond, Virginia. Recently transplanted from Nebraska, Anthony studied music at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and earned his BM (Performance) and MM (Composition) degrees before beginning a ten-year music-teaching career in higher education.

Anthony has worked with performers at every level and has taught and performed with groups that have toured the United States and Europe. He has written and arranged music for many ensembles across the country and has been commissioned by high schools and professional ensembles alike. Anthony has found particular success in the world of the marching arts, where his groups have come first-in-class in regional indoor circuits, Best-of-Show at Drum Corps International’s Soundsport Championships, and fourth-in-class at the Winter Guard International World Championships. Many of these groups were formed from nonprofit organizations, prompting Anthony to pursue and earn a MS degree in Nonprofit Administration.

When not doing something musical, Anthony enjoys hiking, rock climbing, photography, and spending time with his partner, Sarah, and their menagerie of animals.
