His works have been performed at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Ravinia Festival, the Bolshoi Theatre, NYC MoMA, and Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre, with features on BBC Radio 3, CNN Money, NPR, 98.7 WFMT, and Classical King FM. As a film and media composer, he has scored over 30 films and episodic projects, earning industry recognition from national festivals and his 2022 GRAMMY-selected album “MMXX” was praised by critic Robert Hugill as “a striking disc.”

In 2025 he made his debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when Marin Alsop conducted his double percussion concerto, the “Great Lake Concerto”. The Chicago Tribune noted, “it's always a high endorsement, to both performer and composer, when people start hooting in the middle of a classical music piece like they’re at a stadium show.” Other recent highlights include a symphonic work for the Danville Symphony Orchestra in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Vermilion County and a new full-length show for the dance company EDE².

An accomplished orchestrator and arranger, he often prepares music for esteemed performers worldwide including Renée Fleming, Andrea Bocelli, Placido Domingo, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Third Coast Percussion, Opera Festival of Chicago, and others. Through his company Chicago Scoring, he provides composition, copyist, and engraving services for film and media composers.

His diverse career in the arts has also included roles as Executive Director, Production Manager, Marketing Director, and as an educator at Loyola University Chicago and Chicago City Colleges. A sought-after arts manager, his executive leadership roles have included the Lake Forest Symphony, Hyde Park Youth Symphony, Opera Festival of Chicago, Ear Taxi Festival, co-founder of the Society of Composers & Lyricists Chicago Chapter, Governor of the Recording Academy’s Chicago Chapter, and Board Member of the Illinois Council of Orchestras. His work with music technology has made him a main source of information with his acclaimed YouTube channel bringing tutorials and resources for TouchOSC, Dorico and Finale, composing, and recording software.

With degrees from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University and The Hartt School at the University of Hartford, Tim Corpus has received accolades from 3Arts, ASCAP, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, the Skokie Arts Council, The American Prize, and the Illinois Arts Council. His commitment to his Filipino heritage is evident in his research of Filipino composer Lucio D. San Pedro, presented at institutions including Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History and the University of Hartford.
