The Paul Dresher Ensemble

The Paul Dresher Ensemble interprets the ideas and sounds of today’s most innovative and irreverent composers. With energy, virtuosity and incredible
attention to the theatrical dimensions of performance,
it produces and tours its own works of opera and experimental music theater (developed in collaboration with Obie Award-winning performer Rinde Eckert),
and as the Electro-Acoustic Band performs the
work of an amazing range of contemporary
composers with instrumentation that combines
traditional acoustic and contemporary electronic instruments. Virtuoso solo performers like Terry
Riley, Joan Jeanrenaud and David Abel frequently join the Electro-Acoustic Band for concerts that redefine contemporary chamber music.
