Mischa Salkind-Pearl's music has been performed by ensembles around the U.S., Japan, Germany, and Italy. Boston Classical Review named his opera, Troubled Water, (September 2015, Guerilla Opera) the Best Premiere of 2015. Current projects include a consortium commission for a string quartet that integrates traditional techniques of American weaving, a collaboration with fiction writer Franny Zhang, and a commission for a concert-length work for Knoxville-based duo Two Way Street. Ensembles and soloists he has composed for include ensemble mise-en, Philipp Stäudlin, Tony Arnold, Lilit Hartunian, Transient Canvas, Diagenesis Duo, and Callithumpian Consort. His work, A Poppy of Erasure, was included in the exhibition "Intersections: Masters of Line and Space" at the Akron Art Museum. Mischa was founder and board member of Boston's Equilibrium (2011-2020), an ensemble that presented concerts highlighting the music of Boston's diverse contemporary music community. He is Assistant Professor of Composition and Core Studies at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. His music can be heard on Ludovico Ensemble's portrait CD of his work, I Might Be Wrong, on Transient Canvas’s Wired, on Diagenesis Duo’s Hands and Lips of Wind, and on Chen Li Music's 2017 CD, Pluralities. He is composer-in-residence for the Ludovico Ensemble.
