Tim Holt
Composer & Librettist
A composer of terse and brittle virtuosity, Tim Holt's music has been performed across the United States and Europe. In 2025, Mind on Fire (Baltimore) presented his opera Nobody Is Ever Missing in two sold-out performance runs, alongside his new work for vocal ensemble, Anchorites. In 2024, his Playground Poems for solo voice premiered at the Thrilled to Announce Podcast Recital in New York City. In 2022, Overtone Industries (Los Angeles) selected Holt for their Original Vision opera workshop program, where he premiered the chamber opera Palo Seco. Holt received the Rothschild Award for Music Composition from the Peabody Conservatory in 2014 and was awarded a Paderewski Prize in 2010 for his Percussion Sextet. He received his Doctorate of Musical Arts in Music Composition from Peabody Conservatory in 2019 and has studied with composers Michael Hersch and Edward Knight.
