A composer from Southern California, Noah Parady’s compositional voice holds a deep reverence for the past, marked by the reimagining of historical motifs through twenty-first-century expression. Throughout his catalogue, Parady ruminates on the true and beautiful, immersing audiences in artistic and timeless meditations on the surreal and abstract, on the experience of time, change, and transformation, and on the human experience. 

His works have been performed by professional and academic ensembles across the United States, including the Baylor Wind Ensemble, Cortina Brass Ensemble, the Arizona State University French Horn Ensemble, the Peabody Organ Department, and among other professional musicians at events such as the International Horn Society Southwest Conference. Some of his most notable works include Sextet for Winds and Piano (2022), Short Sonata for Organ (2023), and his most recent work: The Lamb (2025).

He is also the co-host of the podcast Noted, which explores wind ensemble literature and its importance in the American canon of music. The podcast’s goal is to delve into what makes the wind ensemble a compelling, important, and relevant ensemble of American music. 

He received his Masters Degree in Music Composition from The Peabody Conservatory at the Johns Hopkins University, under the tutelage of Michael Hersch. He received his Bachelor’s of Music in Music Composition from the University of Redlands Conservatory of Music as a student of Dr. Anthony Suter and Dr. Andre Myers.
