Welcome to the website of William Bradbury, composer, mandolinist, and recording artist.

Throughout a lifetime devoted to music, I have written and performed works for concert halls, chamber ensembles, film, theater, and solo mandolin. My music has been featured in concert performances, theatrical productions, and public television documentaries, including a project recognized with an Emmy Award for composition and arrangement.

Inspired by the natural world, personal stories, and the unique voices of acoustic and electric instruments, I strive to create music that invites reflection, imagination, and connection.

I invite you to explore my compositions, recordings, and ongoing musical projects. Take some time, read a bit, listen to some music, send me some feedback. If you are interested in performing any of my music or would like additional information, please feel free to contact me at bradbury@csusm.edu. Thanks for visiting.
