Christopher Lutsker is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, New York. He has earned a B.M. in Music Composition from Brooklyn College at the City University of New York with a minor in Music Technology, and was awarded a full-tuition merit scholarship under the Macaulay Honors program. At Brooklyn College, he studied composition and orchestration under world-renowned and award-winning composers Polina Nazaykinskaya, Dalit Warshaw, and Hyun-Kyung Lee. He also pursued an internship with Recording Technician George Brunner, whom he assisted in recording conservatory concerts and editing video and audio in post-production. Additionally, he managed and directed two music clubs that are part of the Honors program.
Christopher began studying piano at the age of five. As a performer, he primarily plays upright and electric bass in a jazz, rock, pop, or musical theater context across various venues and ensembles in New York City, and frequently performs piano pieces composed either by him or a fellow composition student. He also has experience playing in school bands and orchestras on flute, oboe, and english horn.
Passionate about video games and their music, Christopher is mostly interested in scoring for role-playing games but also has experience scoring for film music competitions and would like to undertake additional film scoring projects at NYU. Christopher's music has been performed in the US, France, and Russia by members of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, the Brooklyn College Conservatory Orchestra, concert pianists such as Katya Kramer-Lapin and Olga Kirpicheva, and various students of the City University of New York, ACES Educational Center for the Arts, and the Greater Connecticut Youth Orchestras.
