Brooke Joyce joined the faculty at Luther College in 2005, where he teaches composition, theory, contemporary music history and electronic music. Born and raised in East Lansing, Michigan, he holds degrees in theory/composition from Princeton University, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and Lawrence University. He has composed music for a variety of chamber ensembles, orchestras and soloists, but his first love is music for the theater. Among his music-theater collaborations is Unbekannt, a musical based on the life of Anna Anderson, the famous Anastasia pretender. Other recent projects include two compositions inspired by his dog Roland, a six-year-old pug. He also enjoys playing the piano and organ, reading Edward Gorey books, and exploring the outdoors. During the summer, Brooke is a faculty member of The Walden School in New Hampshire.
