Nathan Koci is a NYC-based multi-instrumentalist and composer originally from Charleston, South Carolina. Performing on the horn and accordion, as well as other brass and keyboard instruments, Koci is an enthusiastic advocate of music by living composers, holding administrative roles in NYC’s MATA Festival, and Charleston’s New Music Collective. Diversity equals comfort for Koci, performing in musical settings from jazz to theater to free improvisation to garage bands and old Cuban folk songs. He has had the humble pleasure of performing with folks such as Alarm Will Sound, Bang on a Can, Ensemble Modern, the Garage Cuban Band, New Music Collective, The Opposite of a Train, Signal, TILT Brass, Your Bad Self, and ZAHA. In addition to performing, Koci is an active composer, writing music for theater, dance, silent film and concert performance. www.nathankoci.com
