Brian Raphael Nabors

Brian Raphael Nabors (born 1991 in Birmingham, Alabama) is a rising American composer whose music fuses the classical tradition with the gospel, jazz and R&B that surrounded him growing up. After study at Samford University and the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, he writes music ‘immersed in southern culture and inspired by the resilience of the human spirit.’ A 2020 Fulbright Fellow, he has been widely performed by major American orchestras and is admired for the rhythmic vitality, colour and communicative energy of his scores.
