Harvey Sollberger

Harvey Sollberger is a trailblazing American flutist, composer, conductor, and educator whose career has left a lasting imprint on contemporary classical and electro-acoustic music. Co-founder of the groundbreaking Group for Contemporary Music in the 1960s, he became a fierce advocate for new works, championing composers like Roger Reynolds, Charles Wuorinen, and Chaya Czernowin while crafting his own adventurous compositions. Known for his technical mastery and expressive flute performances, Sollberger’s work often blurs boundaries between acoustic and electronic sounds, as heard in releases like *Electro Acoustic Music: Classics* and *A New York Retrospective*. A dedicated teacher, he shaped generations of musicians through roles at institutions like UC San Diego and Indiana University. Whether interpreting complex modern scores or collaborating on genre-defying projects, Sollberger remains a restless innovator—always pushing listeners (and fellow artists) to explore the outer edges of musical possibility.
