Based in New York City, Erin Rogers is a Canadian-American composer, saxophonist, and performance artist dedicated to new and experimental music. Her works explore the intersection of chamber music, sound alchemy, and theatre, using human elements such as vocals, improvisation, and performance practice to inform timbre, gesture, and theme, moving freely between acoustic and electronic worlds. Erin’s works have been performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Roulette, The Knockdown Center, Cleveland Institute of Music and Merkin Hall, by ensembles such as mise-en, Loadbang, Stony Brook Contemporary Players, Versipel, Hypercube, thingNY, and nief-norf, with recent commissions from the 2018 MATA Festival, Alia Musica Pittsburgh and Decoder Ensemble (Hamburg).
