About me

Anthony Mosakowski, Ph.D. (b. 1970) is a composer of growing reputation in the Philadelphia
area. His numerous compositions include works for a wide variety of media and audiences. Dr.
Mosakowski is particularly interested in choral music and has received particular success for his
setting of the St. John Passion titled The Passion for Good Friday. In addition to several shorter
choral works, Dr. Mosakowski’s compositions include a setting of the Old English poem “The
Seafarer” for soprano soloist, chorus, and small orchestra and a Latin mass for choir and
Javanese gamelan. Dr. Mosakowski’s works also include chamber music, electroacoustic pieces
based on field recordings of water and trains, several songs for solo voice and piano, and a
concertino for flute and small orchestra titled Once Was Wood.
A native of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Dr. Mosakowski received bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in composition from Temple University’s Esther Boyer College of Music where he
studied composition with Maurice Wright, Matthew Greenbaum, and Richard Brodhead; and
where he was active in the choral and early music ensembles. In 1995 he travelled to England
where he later earned a Ph.D. in composition under the supervision of Fabrice Fitch at the
University of Durham. While at Durham, in addition to being an active composer and performer,
Dr. Mosakowski conducted the university’s new music group and directed the Durham
University Chamber Choir for the 1997—1998 academic year which included a performance at
York Minster and a concert tour of Poland.
Currently, Dr. Mosakowski is a music teacher and choral director at Villa Maria Academy High
School for girls in Malvern, PA where he teaches courses in music theory, music technology, ear
training, music appreciation, and applied voice; and directs the Concert Chorus, Madrigal
Singers, and Handbell Choir. Dr. Mosakowski has also taught aural theory at West Chester
University of Pennsylvania and is sought after as a tenor soloist and section leader by choirs and
other performers in the Philadelphia region.
