about
The music of composer Marcos Balter (b.1974, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) has been described as "vital, imaginative, (...) surrealistic" [New York Times], "a virtuosic equilibrium of colliding particles (with) both intricate clarity and convincing trajectory" [Boston Globe], "utterly lovely" [Chicago Tribune], "mesmerizing" [Musical America], "delicate" and "transportive" [Time Out Chicago], "a free-form mural in volume, touch, inflection, and presence" [FAME], "colorful, inventive, (...) with vibrant sonics" [New Music Connoisseur], "exciting and refreshing, (...) agile, flexible and fragile" [Zeitschichten]. His works have been championed by many of today's most prestigious and adventurous new music ensembles, performers, and organizations such as the Meet the Composer Foundation, Chicago Symphony Orchestra's MusicNow, Carnegie Hall's Ensemble ACJW, Harvard University's Fromm Concert Series, the Aspen Music Festival, the MATA Festival, the Lockenhaus Kammermusikfestival, the Manhattan Sinfonietta, the New Millennium Orchestra, Ensemble Anaphora, Third Coast Percussion Quartet, the Holland America Music Society, the New York Miniaturist Ensemble, Brave New Works, saxophonists Ryan Muncy and Eric Hewitt, and percussionist Samuel Z. Solomon in venues such as the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, E-Werk Freiburg, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires, Seiji Osawa Hall, Merkin Hall, the Juilliard School, Le Poisson Rouge, The Stone, Harris Theater, Paine Hall, and the Chicago Millenn
