Summary
Gregory Newsome is an associate professor, composer, and software developer with over a decade of experience at the intersection of music and technology. Based in Toronto, he teaches composition and programming while composing commissioned concert works and coaching performers for premieres and recordings. His technical portfolio spans desktop and web application development using Cocoa, Xcode, and languages from C++ and Objective-C to Python and Ruby, informed by a formal background in composition (MM) and a programming certificate.

A practical polymath, he routinely bridges artistic vision and production-grade software, often presenting his own work in pre-concert talks to contextualize technological processes for audiences.
