Robert Tindle, b. 1996, comes from a musical family, and took to arranging and composing music at an early age, studying composition with composer Robert Longfield and Dr. Dennis Kam, Professor Emeritus of University of Miami's Frost School of Music while still in high school. By his senior year, Robert had garnered recognition throughout South Florida as a capable composer of music for band, orchestra, and brass, and before age 21 was a four-time winner of the National Young Composers Challenge, winner of the Florida Bandmasters Association’s Henry Fillmore Composition Contest, and winner of the first annual Fredericksburg Brass Institute’s Composition Contest.
Robert's music has been performed by the Miami Symphony, Marin Symphony, Akron Symphony, and Southeast Iowa Symphony, the Orlando Philharmonic, the Virginia Grand Military Band, the UCLA Wind Ensemble, the Wichita State University Wind Ensemble, and many more professional and amateur bands and orchestras nationally and internationally. Recent commissions include concertos for bass trombone, trumpet, and clarinet, and in 2018, Robert was named a Composer-in-Residence with the Miami Symphony.
Robert’s music has been described as “instantly appealing, expertly composed and orchestrated, and having an enormously positive and powerful impact,” with “beautifully crafted melodies, surprising harmonies, and rhythmic vitality.” Constantly seeking to bridge the gap between composer and audience, his music draws from both the classical tradition and innovations of modern concert music, synthesizing them into a distinct personal voice full of energy and emotion.
Robert received his BM in Composition at the Frost School of Music, where he studied with Dr. Charles Mason, Dr. Dorothy Hindman, and Dr. Lansing McLoskey. In addition to composing, Robert took up conducting while at Frost, and studied with Gary Green. He received his MM in Instrumental Conducting with Dr. Timothy Shade at Wichita State University, and has conducted performances of his works for band, choir, brass ensemble, and chamber orchestra. Robert is also an accomplished pianist and an active accompanist. When not composing, Robert enjoys spending time with his wife, Anna, and their cats, playing board games, and reading.
