Musical Theater Composer/Lyricist/Librettist, Violinist, and Vocalist
About Timothy
Timothy L. Michuda fully embodies what it means to be a multi-hyphenate in today’s music industry. Although his primary focus is writing musical theater, Timothy’s journey into the arts began on the violin at age 5, starting to sing at age 7, self-teaching himself piano at age 12, and beginning music arranging, composition, and production at the age of 18.
Timothy has a storied performance history from leading the Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra as concertmaster, accompanying the former Celtic Woman Chloë Agnew on violin, recording as a studio violinist in the NYC PowerStation and beyond, playing in numerous festival and freelance string quartets, and performing at iconic NYC performance venues such as 54 Below, The Cutting Room, and Green Room 42.
A proud alumnus of the University of Notre Dame and Berklee College of Music – NYC, Timothy has undergraduate degrees in Violin Performance and Civil Engineering, as well as a master’s degree in writing and design for Musical Theater.
Currently, Timothy is in the throes of creative collaboration, co-writing the book, music, and lyrics for the daring multi-timeline biographical musical, “TURING”. Simultaneously, he is also collaborating on the spirited Theater for Young Audiences (“TYA”) musical, “Take a Quack At It!”. Although the musicals are in the heat of the development process, both of these anticipated projects have had selections grace the stage of New York City venues such as GreenRoom42 and The Cutting Room.
As a queer musical theater writer, Timothy strives to authentically tell the stories of LGBTQ characters and narratives. He is also driven by an innate desire to compose musical scores that resonate from the heart and are felt emotionally by audiences just as deeply and as loudly as they are heard.
With a diverse creative foundation ranging from being a professional violinist to storytelling grandiose narratives, Timothy’s voice in the world of musical theater is unique and will surely continue to crescendo in the years to come.
