Grant Colburn (born in Wisconsin in 1966) is an American composer, pianist and harpsichordist.[1] He studied harpsichord with Igor Kipnis and composition with Irwin Sonenfield.
He is the author of six published collections of neo-baroque and neo-renaissance harpsichord music including most recently two volumes of Twelve Carols of Christmas arranged for Harpsichord or Organ and Six Voluntaries for the Organ or Harpsichord. Also two concertos for harpsichord and strings, another concerto for recorder and strings, music for recorder/flute with continuo and works for unaccompanied cello or viola da gamba, as well as songs for voice and continuo of which there are recordings by Fernando de Luca, Andreas Zappe, Ernst Stolz, Daniel Shoskes, Simone Stella, Robert Ronnes, Carson Cooman and Michele Barchi. A number of his works were adapted for Baroque lute by Roman Turovsky.

A concert of Colburn's compositions was given at the 2007 Boston Early Music Festival.[4]
