Born in 1966 in Germany, he studied violin and piano at the Richard-Strauss Academy of Music in Munich. He was invited to perform in the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival Orchestra under the baton of Leonard Bernstein in 1988, and returned in 1990 to be part of the television series “Orchestra!” hosted by Sir Georg Solti and Dudley Moore. After graduating in 1992 he continued his studies in the United States at the USC Thornton School of Music, learning from composers such as Elmer Bernstein, David Raskin and Stefan Zorzor. He won the Marmor Foundation Award in 2002 for his piano trio and in 2003 for his wind quintet sponsored by Stanford University. In 2004 the Composer’s Symposium at the Bach Festival in Eugene, Ore., commissioned Brydern to compose a string trio in honor of George Crumb’s 75th birthday.
In 2010 the Oakland Symphony Orchestra commissioned and premiered a “cross-over” piece for its 2010 season. Also, the Wuerrtemberger Kammerorchester Heilbronn premiered his composition “French Connection” for Trombone, Rhythm Section and Strings.
