Welcome to The Artful Composer

I compose music. More specifically, I compose music for people and events. Music is for everyone! Every person and every event is worthy of a special piece of music. I believe the world is a better place because music exists!

How I Give Back

As an optimist, I prefer to look at the world through rose-colored glasses. But I’m also a realist. The world is full of joy and beauty, but it’s filled with just as much pain and suffering. I’m doing something about it. Ten percent of every dollar The Artful Composer earns goes to organizations such as Out of Darkness and MUST Ministries. In addition, I sponsor and host free music education events for children living in low-income situations. Further, I support young composers through organizing competitions, festivals, and training initiatives.

“Chris Owenby's music can be summed up as ethereal. When I'm playing or listening to his music, I'm spiritually uplifted and transported to a heavenly place.”

~ Sherrod Mitchell Violist, Minus One String Quartet

What are traditional instrumentations, you ask?

There are a lot!
