Eric Lacy Bio

“Eric Lacy was born in Riverdale, Maryland. Primarily a self-taught musician and composer, he started out writing Contemporary Christian songs for church, which eventually led him to becoming the church pianist and music director.

“Eric's music can be characterized as 'stylistically lyrical and melodic.' His compositional style reflects influences from Beethoven, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Howard Hanson, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, and Christopher Rouse. His unique ability to combine the style of romanticism with 21st century compositional techniques brings a lush and expressive quality to his music.

“Eric holds a Master's degree in film music composition from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He is currently earning his Master of Music degree in composition from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Principal composition teachers include Mark Engebretson and Alejandro Rutty. Eric Lacy has composed for every medium. Among these are his works for solo voice, chamber and orchestral music, as well as film and television documentaries.”
