Erin Rogers
Erin Rogers is a composer and saxophonist based in New York City. Named a “rising star” (Broadway World), her music has been described as “whimsical, theatrical” (Brooklyn Vegan), “a wild ride” (An Earful), and “so complex, it’s primitive.” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). Her works explore the intersection of chamber music, sound alchemy, and theatre, moving freely between acoustic and electronic worlds. Rogers’ works have been featured at Lincoln Center, Prototype Festival, Library of Congress, Carnegie Hall, MATA Festival, French Quarter Festival, Ecstatic Festival, Círculo de Bellas Artes (Madrid), International Festival of New Music "Manuel Enríquez" (Mexico), NyMusikk Bergen, the Edmonton Fringe Festival and Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg). Rogers is co-artistic director of thingNY, Hypercube, New Thread Quartet, and Popebama. She has received commissions and honors from The Barlow Endowment, Library of Congress, Copland House, and the Jerome Foundation.
