Today, the Spotlight shines On innovative percussionist and drummer Lisa Pegher.
Lisa turns percussion into something you’ve never heard before. A pioneering artist who moves easily between classical concert halls and electronic music spaces, Lisa wields everything from traditional drums to cutting-edge AI technology.
She’s performed with major orchestras worldwide and premiered works by today’s leading composers, but what sets Lisa apart is her drive to push percussion into new territory.
Her project, A.I.RE, explores the evolution of rhythm—from pure acoustic sounds to an AI-generated musical landscape. With composers from New York’s ICEBERG collective, Lisa has crafted a show that asks big questions about music’s future while delivering an unforgettable live experience.
(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Paul Dooley: Masks and Machines and A.I.RE Concert 2024)
