Greetings! My name is Ilan Blanck, and I'm a musician, which means:
I'm an arranger! I've arranged for, among many other projects, Ellie Goulding and the LA Phil, San Fransisco Symphony, and Royal Philharmonic.
I'm a guitarist! I play in Sprig of That, have played guitar for acts like Jayme Stone's Folk Life and Alexa Wildish, and have shared the stage with everyone from Guster and eighth blackbird to Here Come the Mummies and Charlie Parr.
I'm a composer! I scored Vanguard Estates, the choose-your-own path podcast by award-winning journalist Rose Eveleth (NPR, ESPN) and have written concert music performed by award-winning instrumentalists and ensembles like Joseph Connor and ~Nois.
I'm a teacher! I've taught at the University of Colorado-Boulder, elementary schools across NYC/MN with partner organizations like Carnegie Hall and Minnesota Public Radio, and as a part of the Mile of Music Music Education team. I specialize in popular music theory, commercial music skills, and ensemble performance.
I'm an industry professional! I work at the Music District, where I build relationships with national industry partners and plan programming to support a community odyssey 350+ independent artists. I was also assistant to Minneapolis super-producer Lazerbeak (Lizzo, Doja Cat, Dessa, Doomtree) and was head of operations for Doomtree Records.
I'm currently based in Fort Collins, CO, though I've also lived in Minneapolis, MN and all around Wisconsin.
I've got a masters degree in music composition from CU-Boulder and a bachelors in composition/guitar from Lawrence University. The son of immigrants and the descendant of Holocaust survivors, I am very grateful to make my living through music.
