A multi-hyphenate music powerhouse and visionary producer, Steve Hackman is a daring voice leading the charge among a new generation of classical musicians intent on redefining the genre. 

Equally adept in classical and popular styles, he is the creator of a production concept called “FUSE,” which synthesizes classical and popular masterworks. He has conducted these productions, like Brahms X. Radiohead and The Resurrection Mixtape (Mahler X Notorious BIG X Tupac Shakur), all over the world, including with the Philadelphia, Richmond, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Colorado, Phoenix, and Grand Rapids symphonies; the Pittsburgh and Nashville symphony orchestras; the Colorado Music Festival; and the Boston Pops. 

Hackman has teamed up with some of the biggest pop superstars of today to add a signature virtuosic and classical dimension to their work, including Kanye West, Doja Cat, and Andrew Bird. He was trained at the Curtis Institute of Music and The Juilliard School.
