Christopher McIntyre enjoys a singular, wide-ranging career in music and the performing arts. An in-demand performer on trombone and electronics, McIntyre specializes in ensemble work meshing improvisative & interpretive material as a player and as a composer, conductor, and band leader. Based in Brooklyn and bred in Minnesota, he composes for various media and instrumental forces, often employing creative systems suggested by the work of visual artists such as Serra, Smithson, and LeWitt. He serves as program curator and trombonist for NYC ensembles Either/Or and TILT Brass, as well as Director and Co-Founder of the latter. McIntyre also independently curates events for local venues including ISSUE Project Room and The Kitchen. He frequently performs around the city and in Europe with TILT, Either/Or, SEM and Talea Ensembles, among many others including numerous composer-led projects. He can be heard on recordings released by New World, Tzadik, XI, Mode, Braxton House, Edition Modern, POTTR, zOaR, and Non-Site Records. Since 2006, McIntyre has contributed to the broad revival of composer Julius Eastman’s music by creating several score realizations and leading performances by SEM, TILT Brass, Talea & Harlem Chamber Players, Queens College’s Copland Ensemble, Philly’s Arcana NME, and members of Orchestra of St. Lukes. He teaches contemporary brass chamber music at Mannes School of Music at The New School. cmcintyre.com
