Biography
Paolo Cabo Wahn is a classically trained pianist and an aspiring composer/lyricist currently studying composition and piano performance in the music program in the College of Letters and Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also intending to declare a simultaneous degree in Chemistry through the College of Chemistry.
In early August 2022, Wahn worked with Domenic Salerni, violinist of the Grammy award-winning Attacca Quartet, at the 2022 Del Mar International Composers Symposium. Salerni subsequently programmed Wahn’s piece, “The Sunflower Rondo,” for his concert in October 2022 at the Rites of Spring Music Festival at Quogue Wildlife Refuge in Quogue, New York.
His overall focus is to write for musical theater, but he is also interested in classical and other genres. For three semesters in college, he has been a member of The Intermission Orchestra at Berkeley, a student-led orchestra that specializes in anime, video game, and film/TV music. Starting as a pianist/keyboardist in Spring 2023, he has gradually taken on new roles in the orchestra, becoming an arranger, conductor, and Music Director as of Spring 2024.
