Jim Staley: Classical Musician in New York

About Jim Staley

Jim Staley is a New York–based classical musician whose work often sits close to the city’s experimental performance network. He appears at Roulette, including a program with electronic musician and composer Ikue Mori and harpist Zeena Parkins. Staley’s performances tend to treat the concert as a site for dialogue, placing acoustic sound in close contact with electronics and open-ended form. His profile is understated in scale, but the approach is consistent: attentive listening over display.
