“Mischief-maker and cultural blender-in-chief, Pritsker is a serious artist, yet much of his work is witty and irreverent.” Anyone can draw a mustache on the Mona Lisa, but few musicians draw it as artistically and creatively as Gene Pritsker.” (Raymond Tuttle, Fanfare Magazine)
Composer Gene Pritsker has written over seven hundred compositions, including chamber operas, orchestral and chamber works, electro-acoustic music and songs for hip-hop and rock ensembles. His compositions employ an eclectic spectrum of styles, that are influenced by his studies of various musical cultures.
He states “My music is extremely eclectic, from orchestral music to chamber music to hip-hop, rock, opera, electronic to incorporating my studies of various world cultures. Music has no bounds - I view the world of music as one big genre.”
He is the founder and leader of Sound Liberation, an eclectic hip hop-chamber-jazz-rock ensemble. He also Co-Directs Composers' Concordance. Gene's music is performed all over the world at internationally recognized festivals and by highly respected ensembles and performers.
