DOMENIC FUSCO III
DFusco Music
Bio //
Composer-educator Domenic Fusco III (b.2002) strives to create new works with a deep connection to nature and his surrounding community.
While pursuing music with a concentration in Baritone Voice at Rhode Island College, composition arose as an interest for him, and it developed into his main passion and the core of his academic studies. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Composition and Music History from Rhode Island College in 2024.
As a native of Cranston, Rhode Island, Domenic’s performance experiences—ranging from his roles at Rhode Island College as President of the Chamber Singers and Bass Section Leader of the Concert Chorus, to being a former member of the Rhode Island College Tenor and Bass Ensemble and The Hartt School’s Composers’ Ensemble—have strongly influenced his compositional style. His time as a performer has given him insight into the nuances of both vocal and instrumental writing, allowing him to create intricate and expressive music.
Domenic holds his M.M. in Music Composition from The Hartt School, where he studied under mentors Dr. Gilda Lyons and Dr. LJ White.
