Susan Stenger

Susan Stenger has bridged the rock and art music worlds throughout her career. She grew up in Buffalo, New York, where she both played in bands and explored new music as a student of Petr Kotik and Julius Eastman. She skipped her high school graduation to attend the now legendary "New Music In New Hampshire" summer workshop in Chocorua, NH, where she first encountered the music of faculty members David Tudor, David Behrman, Gordon Mumma and Frederick Rzewski in what was a life-changing experience.
