In search of new modes of communication and expression, pianist Justin Snyder explores performance as an immersive and integrated experience, reimagining the ways in which we listen and think about music. Through the cross-pollination of music with olfaction, dance and movement, science, visual art, architecture, technology, and beyond, Snyder seeks to illuminate entirely new perspectives borne out of experimentation.

Driven a great deal by collaboration, Snyder has joined forces with artists spanning a wide spectrum of backgrounds, from choreographers, poets, and digital artists to perfumers, durational performance artists, fashion designers, and laser artists. With a focus on the music of living composers, he has had the great privilege of working with Libby Larsen, Molly Joyce, My Brightest Diamond (Shara Nova), Kelly Moran, Jonathan Dove, Evan Ziporyn, William Bolcom, and Jake Heggie, amongst many more artists. Justin is the creative director of New Music Detroit.
