Hello! My name is Simon Broucke (pronounced “brOO-kuh”), I’m a composer, orchestrator, and conductor based in New York City. I’ve worked as music director, composer/lyricist, and orchestrator/arranger for several theatrical productions, including A Tale Of Two Colleges (2017, Columbia University), Lights Out On Broadway (2018, Columbia University), and Showing Up (2021, Middlebury Town Hall Theater). In addition to my work in theatre, I’ve has also composed for the Columbia Ballet Collaborative, the Schoen Movement Company, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. My work with choreographer Emily Schoen was featured in the New York Times Nov. 15th 2018 article “7 Dance Performances to See in NYC This Weekend.” My orchestral arrangements of cinematic music have been programmed by pops orchestras in the United States and Europe, including the American Pops Orchestra, Davenport Pops , and Columbia Pops. I’ve also taught piano, improvisation, and composition in NYC and Vermont (where I was born).

I graduated from Columbia University in 2019 with a BA in Music and Mathematics. As an undergraduate I studied composition under George Lewis, Georg Friedrich Haas, Zosha Di Castri, and Ole Mathisen, graduated summa cum laude with departmental honors in music, and was awarded the Charles S. Miller award for excellence of the highest standard in the field of music composition. I was also awarded the New York Youth Symphony Musical Theatre Songwriting Director’s Award for Commitment and Achievement in 2020. I am a current student in the First-Year BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Songwriting Program.
