The Openscore Ensemble Tickets

The Openscore Ensemble is a Phoenix-based performer collective renowned for inventive arrangements of contemporary and modern classical repertoire. Originating at Paradise Valley Community College and guided by director Jacob Adler since 2013, the group specializes in reshaping works by composers such as György Ligeti, Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Olivier Messiaen, while also presenting visionary pieces from Philip Glass, including performances like Einstein on the Beach. Their work bridges academic technique and live, engaging performance, making complex modern scores accessible and compelling for diverse audiences.

Rooted in a dynamic local scene, The Openscore Ensemble has secured notable public engagements, including a 2019 performance of Philip Glass' Einstein on the Beach at the Phoenix Art Museum. Public performances in 2024 continued the tradition, with a December 19 Crescent Ballroom appearance featuring Glass works in Phoenix. The ensemble’s approach emphasizes clarity of texture, timbral exploration, and thoughtful programming that highlights contemporary storytelling through music.

Discography is available on Bandcamp, where The Openscore Ensemble has released six works to date. Recent highlights include Gulistān (September 2023) and Antiphonae (May 2023), along with Luminous Darkness (2020) and earlier titles. While the ensemble’s public footprint leans on Bandcamp releases and SoundCloud uploads, their live performances remain central to their identity—moments where audiences experience intricate textures and the emotional depth of modern classical composition.
