Kory Reeder

Kory Reeder is an American composer and performer whose music, drawing inspiration from the visual arts and political theory, is often introspective with a “rarefied atmosphere” (Bandcamp), investigating ideas of objectivity and immediacy, while exploring the social implications of musical interaction with pieces ranging from symphonic and chamber works to field recording, text scores and computer-assisted improvisations.

Described as “one of the most captivating composers in modern classical music” (Dallas Observer), Kory’s music is performed frequently around the world in concert halls, festivals, academic settings, basements, and bars across North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe. A dedicated collaborator, he has frequently worked with opera, theater, and dance programs, as well as noise, free-improv, and new media artists on projects ranging from video collaborations to 24-hour live performance art works, “Pushing at limits was always on Reeder’s agenda” (Chamber Music America). He has been artist-in-residence at Arts, Letter, and Numbers, The Kimmel, Harding, Nelson Center for the Arts and has been Artist in Residence in the Everglades, Artist in residence at the Homestead National Monument, and the Composing in the Wilderness program.
