Drew Aarssen

Composer, Conductor, Baritone

Drew Aarssen is a Canadian Composer currently living in Waterloo, ON. He studied composition at Wilfrid Laurier University with professors Dr. Barbara Assiginaak and Dr. Matthew Emery.

Ever since hearing the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gabriel Fauré, and John Williams, Drew has been obsessed with writing music. Similar to his favourite composers, Drew's style of writing is always influenced by the text and the meaning behind each piece he writes. He aims to write music that accurately reflects his personal life, as well as the beauty and hardships of the world.

Be on the lookout for the release of Drew's newest choral work Weep Yet Awhile on Spotify (Coro Volante, Brett Scott, conductor), as well as his art song The Beginning (Leslie Fagan, soprano, Guy Few, piano).
