Ep. 7-Erin Rogers
Erin Rogers is a saxophonist and composer 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). She is co-artistic director of thingNY, Popebama, New Thread Saxophone Quartet, and Hypercube, and has performed with the International Contemporary Ensemble, wildUp, and Talea, at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, the Edmonton Fringe Festival, Resonanzraum (Hamburg), Centro Nacional de las Artes Mexico City, and the Park Avenue Armory. Rogers has been featured on the Ecstatic Music Festival, Prototype Festival, MATA Festival, the Elbphilharmonie’s “Unterdeck”, and NYmusikk Bergen, crossing genres from opera-to-theatre-to-installation-to-silence, through collaborations with Orange Theatre, Panoply Performance Lab, wasteLAnd, Harvestworks, yarn|wire, Experiments-in-Opera, Decoder, Contemporaneous, yarn/wire and Music for Contemplation. She can be heard on New Focus Recordings, New World Records, Edition Wandelweiser, and Gold Bolus labels. Her solo album "Dawntreader” is available on Relative Pitch Records. // erinmrogers.com
