Melbourne VIC, Australia

Christopher Healey is a composer of music for modern hearts and minds. Solo music to full-bodied orchestral scores. One-minute miniatures to 80-minute operas. Transfixingly tender to disturbingly macabre. Modern listeners are multi-dimensional and emotionally complex; contemporary art music should be the same. Melbourne-based composer Christopher Healey holds a Bachelor of Music (Composition), Honours (Class I) from the University of Queensland. He has studied with renowned Australian composers Gerard Brophy and Robert Davidson. From 2018-2019, he also undertook further composition studies with the eminent American composer, Daron Hagen. In 2019, he was selected as a participant in the Australian Youth Orchestra's "Words About Music Program" with Phillip Sametz. Christopher has also completed his PhD in Composition. Christopher Healey's music has been commissioned and performed by musicians in Australia, USA, China, the Netherlands, France, and beyond.
