Matt Mitchell: Classical Musician in New York

About Matt Mitchell

Matt Mitchell is a classical pianist and composer whose work often sits at the edge of contemporary ensemble practice. In New York City he has appeared at Roulette, including programs with Ingrid Laubrock’s Purposing The Air alongside singers Sara Serpa and Theo Bleckmann and guitarist Ben Monder. His collaborations with Laubrock and other improvising musicians point to a background fluent in both notated detail and open form. Mitchell’s playing favors precision and structural thinking over display.
