The Ever Present Orchestra is a bold experimental ensemble focused on the instrumental works of Alvin Lucier. Founded in 2017 by Bernhard Rietbrock in partnership with Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, the group centers its sound around electric guitars, strings, saxophones, piano and percussion to explore beating patterns and spatial acoustics. Their work blends rigorous academic approach with adventurous live performance, creating immersive listening experiences that are as precise as they are expansive.
