Dr. Bryan Wysocki (b. 1995) is a boundary-exploring percussionist, composer, conductor, and educator based in metro Atlanta. His artistic voice is rooted in curiosity and contrast, where structures meet intuition and tradition confronts the modern with unexpected results. With a compositional sound world shaped by improvisation, extended techniques, and a fondness for play, Bryan’s work celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the joy of creative risk. As a percussionist, he moves seamlessly between realms; interpreting the nuance of orchestral repertoire, exploring the edges of new chamber music, and championing bold, genre-defying collaborations. He has premiered numerous works and thrives in environments where innovation is both the method and the message.

Bryan currently serves as Adjunct Professor of Percussion at Jacksonville State University and Adjunct Professor of Percussion and Composition at the University of West Georgia, where he nurtures the next generation of musical explorers. He is also the founder, Executive Director, and Music Director of the Atlanta Contemporary Music Collective, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization devoted to promoting Atlanta as a destination for contemporary music by fostering dialogue between composers, performers, and audiences through adventurous programming and collaboration.
