Bernie J. Walasavage

Bernie J. Walasavage (b. 1989) is a composer whose music explores the intersections of vulnerability, ritual, and transformation. His works have been performed internationally and across the U.S., with a growing reputation for emotionally resonant, psychologically charged chamber music. Walasavage’s music often arises from a personal process of healing and recovery, and he views composition as a vehicle for connection, catharsis, and change. He is currently studying Addictions Counseling at Saint Joseph’s University (Philadelphia, PA) in Fall 2025, where he plans to integrate his artistic practice with therapeutic work.
