Nick DiBerardino is a composer who talks with his hands.

His music welds the weird machinery of music’s past to the post-genre present, crafting whimsical and thought-provoking sonic stories for our time. His inspirations span science, literature, and everyday life — from reef-saving coral research and Da Vinci’s failed flying machines to his morning coffee and favorite episodes of Star Trek.

As a composer, educator, and artistic leader, Nick works from the conviction that music can spark connection and welcome people into inclusive communities.
