Baker Artist Portfolios

For two decades classical music composer Elliott Grabill has worked on mastering his craft, teaching math by day at Bard High School Early College, and writing during evenings and summers. His works embrace romanticism, emotion, and complex harmony. In 2025 he released his debut album, Heroes and Villains, featuring compositions performed by the Civitasolis Reed Quintet. He is currently composing a symphony for the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra. 

In addition to composing and teaching math, Grabill serves as founder and artistic director of the Hargrove, a small non-profit venue in Baltimore that encourages others to forge their own path and stay true to their creative instincts. The Hargrove features weekly and bi-weekly concerts of jazz, experimental music, contemporary classical music, and music by local singer/songwriters.
