Dylan Mattingly is a composer based in the San Francisco Bay Area whose music has been commissioned and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, the Berkeley Symphony, John Adams, Marin Alsop, and many others. As a teacher, Dylan is committed to helping composers of any level hone their ability to express themselves and create the music most meaningful to them.

As a composer, Dylan's work is fundamentally ecstatic, dedicated to transformative experience. His music has been described as “gorgeous” by the San Francisco Chronicle, “transcendent” and “the most poignantly entrancing passages of beautiful music in recent memory” by LA Weekly, and “in the pantheon of contemporary American composers” (Prufrock’s Dilemma) and is often informed by his scholarship on Ancient Greek music and poetry.

Mattingly is the executive and co-artistic director of the NY-based new-music ensemble Contemporaneous. Mattingly’s in-development 6-hour multimedia opera, Stranger Love, has recently been presented on the PROTOTYPE Festival and the Bang on a Can Marathon. Mattingly was the Musical America “New Artist of the Month” for February 2013 and was awarded the Charles Ives Scholarship by the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2016.
