About

Zach Aliotta (he/they) is a multidisciplinary musician and artist. Classically trained as a violinist, he has also worked with dance, performance art, and the written word. In addition to standard orchestral and chamber playing, he is committed to contemporary music, especially improvisatory text and graphic scores. As a collaborator, Zach has worked with dancers as well as musicians from many other genres to create new sonic experiences of all kinds.

Zach plays on several violins, including a rare aluminum instrument commissioned for Interlochen in the 1930s, and uses amplification and other effects to explore the full range of possibilities for bowed strings.
