Lucas Sparrow

Lucas Sparrow is an American composer of contemporary art music residing in Bowling Green, Ohio. He is currently completing a Master’s degree in Music Composition at Bowling Green State University, where he studies with Dr. Marilyn Shrude. He received a Bachelor of Music in Composition from Bob Jones University in 2025 where he studied with Dr. Seth Custer.

Lucas mainly focuses on emotional expression in his music, making other elements vital yet subordinate. He desires for his music to be keenly inevitable, yet not necessarily predictable, in order to strengthen the emotional impact of the music.

Upcoming premiers of Lucas’s newest music include a performance of his piece Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming by the Bob Jones Academy High School Concert Band on December 12, and a piece to be performed by the Cleveland Chamber Symphony on April 12 as part of their annual Young and Emerging Composers Concert.
