Zosha Warpeha
A Brooklyn-based composer-performer working in a meditative space at the intersection of
contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. She explores transformations of time and
tonality on Hardanger d’amore, a sympathetic-stringed relative of the Norwegian Hardanger
fiddle, often layered delicately with her own voice. Her current solo work is informed by the
cyclical forms, rhythmic elasticity, and the physical momentum of Nordic folk music. Warpeha’s
solo debut silver dawn (Relative Pitch Records, 2024) has been lauded as a “breathtaking
dialogue between Warpeha and her instrument” (I Care if You Listen), her compositional process
“subverting tradition not as a political act, but as a point of departure” (Peter Margasak). She is a
2025 Artist-in-Residence at ISSUE Project Room and her work has also been supported by the
US-Norway Fulbright Foundation, Jerome Foundation, Minnesota State Arts Board, and the
Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Cleek Schrey
Fiddler, improviser, and composer from Virginia, now based in NYC. Recent
engagements include the Beckett in London Festival with Gare St. Lazare, a solo appearance at
the Kilkenny Arts Festival, and Roulette Intermedium with David Behrman in a concert curated
by Meredith Monk. He has studied composition with Behrman, Paul Caputo, Bunita Marcus, and
Ronald Kuivila. The journal Sound Post has noted that Cleek “possesses a rare combination of
traits: deep respect for traditional music and the people who make it, and an unbounded
curiosity about new directions for sound.” He is currently pursuing a Masters in Music
Composition at Wesleyan University.
