Quentin Tschofen is a Duluth-based musician, bike enthusiast, and data analyst.

As a composer, his works range from compositions for solo instruments to large ensembles and draw on an eclectic vocabulary of influences. As a pianist, he is at home in many settings and with many styles of music, performing with various improvising ensembles, as a vocal accompanist, and in more classically-oriented environments. 

He holds an MFA in music composition from the New England Conservatory, where he studied with John Mallia. During his BFA studies at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, he was fortunate to study composition with Kirk Nurock and Jane Ira Bloom and piano with Marc Copland and Vijay Iyer.

After a decade on the East Coast, Quentin is pleased to be back in Minnesota, where he enjoys mountain biking, bikepacking, and trail building. He is a full-time data analyst with Motivate, an international micromobility company. He is a skilled collaborator and is comfortable with independent work and in interdisciplinary settings (including intersections of art and technology), and has a demonstrated ability to work strategically in organizational capacities. He has also been known to play the accordion.
