Nolan Gasser Tickets

Nolan Gasser stands at the crossroads of music, technology, and storytelling. As the architect of Pandora Radio’s Music Genome Project and its chief musicologist since 1999, he reshaped how listeners discover and relate to music. Beyond his groundbreaking work in musicology, Gasser is an accomplished composer whose works have been performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the San Francisco Opera. His pieces Cosmic Reflection and American Festivals exemplify a career that blends orchestral color with accessible musical narratives.

In addition to composing, Gasser has contributed to the stage, including Benny & Joon at Paper Mill Playhouse (2019). He is the author of Why You Like It: The Science and Culture of Musical Taste (Macmillan, 2019), a thoughtful examination of how we experience music. His ongoing projects with Classical Archives and high-profile commissions—such as NASA’s GLAST Prelude—highlight his role as both creator and curator in the modern musical landscape.
