Robert Fleisher’s music has been heard throughout the United States and in more than a dozen other countries and has been released on as many record labels. His acoustic compositions have been called “eloquent” (The Ann Arbor News), “lovely and emotional” and “beautiful chaos” (Musicworks), “astoundingly attractive” (Perspectives of New Music), and “ingenious” (The Strad). His electroacoustic works have been described as “fascinating” (Fanfare), “endearingly low-tech” and possessing “a rich, tactile texture” (The New York Times). The author of Twenty Israeli Composers (1997), he is also a contributing composer and essayist in Theresa Sauer’s Notations 21 (2009). His scores have been exhibited in the U.S., France, and the Netherlands.
