Henry Wolfe Carradine was born 1990 in Los Angeles, California, and as the son of an architect and painter and member of the Carradine acting family, has been surrounded by the arts from a very young age.
As a child Carradine displayed a great interest for classical music, and began his formal education in music with trumpet and piano lessons at the age of 8.At the age of 13 Carradine began his foray into composition which led him to move to Austria in 2006 to finish High School at the Musik Gymnasium in Neubau, Vienna.
After obtaining his Matura from the Musik Gymnasium in 2011, Carradine had the opportunity of studying privately with several Viennese Composers from whom he gained critical insight into the art of composition.Two of the most important being Univ.-Prof. Walter Ernst Haberl and Prof. Josef Stolz.
Due to Carradine’s stylistic and diverse background, he has been able to work in many differing fields such as Theater, Dance, Film and Fashion.However his true passion resides squarely in the composition of concert works.
During his time in Vienna, Carradine has had the honor of working with many professional musicians including members of the Vienna Philharmonic who have performed his compositions at some of Vienna’s more prestigious chamber music venues.
Carradine's compositions are marked by their application of old forms fused with uncommon time signatures and modes.
Notable works of Carradine include his Four Visions for Piano (2014), Piano Suite (2016), Baroque Suite for 2 Violins in C Minor (2016), Piano Sonata in E-Dorian (2017), Piano Trio in G-Phrygian (2018), and Suite in G for Flute and Guitar (2021).
