Bradley S. Hartman represents a holistic approach to the musical arts, seamlessly integrating his roles as a composer, conductor, and educator. He currently serves as the Associate Conductor of the Five Towns College Wind Ensemble, alongside his dual appointment as Associate Conductor and Composer-in-Residence for the Smithtown Community Band—a role he has held for twelve years.

Hartman’s creative voice has earned national recognition. In 2025, he was named a National Finalist for The American Prize in Composition in both the Wind Band and Orchestral divisions. His original music is featured on MakeMusic Cloud, the Bandworks Top 100 list, and state prescribed music lists in Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia. Notable performances include Lament at The Midwest Clinic New Orchestra Music Reading Session, Allegro con brio by the Texas A&M Symphonic Band, Chasing the Sunrise at the 2026 Association of Concert Bands National Convention in Towson, Maryland, and his own Symphony No. 1: A Long Island Portrait performed by the Five Towns College Wind Ensemble under his associate conductorship.

Simultaneously, his conducting career is marked by more than fifteen years of experience as a public school music educator in New York. Hartman has previously served as the Music Director of the Bay Area Symphony Orchestra and the Assistant Conductor of the Northwinds Symphonic Band. Beyond the podium, he is an active clinician who has presented at the International Music Education Summit, the Conn-Selmer Institute, and the New York State School Music Association Winter and Summer Conferences.

Currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition and Arranging at Five Towns College, Hartman also holds a Master of Music in Wind Conducting from Messiah University, a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Stony Brook University, and a Bachelor of Music in Music Education and Trombone Performance from Long Island University. He is an active member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the National Band Association, the National Association for Music Education, the New York State School Music Association, the New York State Band Directors Association, the Association of Concert Bands, and the Suffolk County Music Educators' Association.
