​
At an early age Steven Errante began arranging, composing and conducting for various musical groups in the Detroit area where he grew up.  By the time he graduated from high school, his music was being performed by  leading orchestras and musicians.

At college, he studied composition and conducting at the University of Michigan and  the Juilliard School, studying with Leslie Bassett, Vincent Persichetti, and Uri Mayer.  During this time, he wrote the score for The Boar's Head Festival, a work heard  annually in Detroit since 1972.

Steven Errante has been Conductor of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra and a member of the   UNCW Department of Music  faculty since 1986. He is also founding conductor of the Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra and accompanist for the   Girls’ Choir of Wilmington.  Dr. Errante has degrees from the University of Michigan and the Juilliard School and  has previously taught at the University of Michigan, Northern Michigan University, and  the University of Richmond. He has also been active as a composer and arranger,  his  Battleship North Carolina March  has been performed throughout the region by the  North Carolina Symphony, and many of the guest artists performing jazz and popular music with the Wilmington Symphony have been backed up by his arrangements.

Steven Errante has a special gift for making music an exciting adventure, whether  it is through his teaching, conducting, or composing. Those who have experienced  his genuine warmth and intense enthusiasm for music may attest to the deeper  understanding and heightened emotional experiences they have discovered under his musical direction and in his compositions.
