Root ed in collage\, collaboration\, and the transformation of life into ritual \, her compositions forge a poetic logic all their own.\n\nRecent projects include Ways to Pass the Day\, an opera for two rocks and a mountain\, cr eated for Festival Nueva Ópera Buenos Aires (2024)\; Everything Everywher e\, a multimedia spectacle that inquisits the excess of all\, in collabora tion with Ensemble Adapter (2025)\; Follow Unfollow\, a headphone opera qu estioning the comfort of comfort— manifested through seductive\, beautif ul jails— for Ensemble Contrechamps (Festival Archipel\, 2025)\; Somewhe re Beautiful\, a solo performance in three acts that drifts from life to d eath\, through mechanical rigor and golden absurdity (2022–24)\; and Bea utiful Trouble\, an opera for JACK Quartet that assembles fractured moment s into a kaleidoscopic meditation on joy\, despair\, and the human conditi on (2019–24). Her debut solo album— equal parts confessional and sonic hallucination— came out on Carrier Records in August 2025.\n\nEarlier n otable works include Papillon and the Dancing Cranes (Borealis Festival\, 2018/2021)\, a whimsical ballet for construction cranes and a giant butter fly\, and I Love Myself Fully and Unconditionally\, a performed installati on intended to impart good feelings on the visitor— in a haunted-house k ind of way— commissioned by Nadar Ensemble for Darmstadt Summer Institut e. These pieces\, like much of her work\, sit somewhere between score and spell\, object and event.\n\nCritics have described her music as “brilli ant\, bananas in the best sense\, elegant\, eloquent\, and loopy” (Steve Smith Night After Night)\; “a tour de force of reckless imagination and confident craft” (Musical America)\; “a fairy tale for a fractured wo rld” (Music We Care About)\, and “the liveliest music of the evening ” (LA Review of Books). She is a founding member of Ensemble Pamplemouss e (est. 2003)\, a collective of composer-performers bent on reconfiguring the concert experience\, and of WENDY (est. 2024)\, a trio making continuo us sets of experimental theatre that are tender\, eerie\, and just slightl y unstable.\n\nNatacha’s work has been commissioned by institutions such as the Borealis Festival\, Fromm Foundation (for Talea Ensemble)\, Darmst adt International Summer Institute\, Barlow Foundation (for JACK Quartet)\ , and Ensemble Contrechamps. Her music has been performed by a wide array of ensembles and soloists including Ensemble Intercontemporain\, Ensemble Adapter\, TAK Ensemble\, hand werk\, Nadar Ensemble\, Ensemble Decoder\, J ACK Quartet\, Quatuor Impact\, Jay Campbell\, Laura Cocks\, Samuel Favre\, Ross Karre\, Rane Moore\, and Charlotte Mundy. Her collaborators are fear less and occasionally a little strange—just how she likes them.\n\nIn pa rallel with her concert works\, Natacha creates short films and music vide os that extend her compositional logic into the visual realm. These have b een screened internationally in Denmark\, New York\, Chicago\, and Budapes t.\n\nShe holds degrees in flute performance\, interactive telecommunicati ons a.k.a. digital media\, and composition from New York University and Co lumbia University. She is currently Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania where she teaches composition and computer music.\n\n  \;\n\nELIANA GLASS\n\nA singer\, pianist\, and visual artist born in Austr alia and raised in Seattle. She is a graduate of the jazz program at The N ew School where she studied with such mentors as Andrew Cyrille\, Ben Stre et\, Kris Davis\, and Jay Clayton. She also holds a degree in Visual Studi es and Writing and works freely across multiple mediums. In recent years s he has been recording her first solo album and developing a visual art pro ject about the human voice\, exploring the conception of voice as a materi al object and site of artistic meaning. In addition to her own creative pr ojects\, Eliana has lent her support to such musicians as Adam O’Farrill \, June McDoom\, Francis Harris and Chantal Michelle amongst others. Joini ng her on May 7th at BAM Café will be Walter Stinson and Michael Gebhart for a performance of free and open ballads.
