Season 1, Episode 14: Gary Grundei

Today’s guest, Gary Grundei, talks to us about how his artistic paths in theatre and music merged. More importantly, he challenges artists to rethink the “boxes” they have placed themselves in and to expand beyond those limitations through play and vulnerability, particularly… in song writing.

Gary Grundei has composed music for NPR, MTV, the Discovery Channel, New York Stage and Film, Ensemble Studio Theatre, the Magic Theatre, GALA Choruses, and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. He has worked with Meredith Monk, Bill Pullman, Leigh Fondakowski, Caitlyn FitzGerald, and Barbara Dilley. Gary has taught at Naropa University, Occidental College, University of Denver, Whitman College, MICHA and online through his own website goldenlotusstudio.com. He lives in NY and plays with the band High Fiction.
