Paul Briggs

Performing in the 2019 Green Show on Wednesday, August 7

This is their third season at the OSF Green Show

Ethereal original instrumentals from the heart

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Paul Briggs has been exploring the world of sound and music for as long as he can remember. Raised in a musical household in Upstate NY, classical piano and ear training were a part of daily life. A love for the guitar developed next, leading onto a passion for world music and the beautiful instruments that create it.

He has scored music for short films, an award winning Connecticut PBS production and for choreographers and dance companies in New York. As a graduate student at the University of Buffalo he composed a series of piano pieces for his students along with electronic soundscapes later performed at New Music Festivals in Europe.

In 1985 he met and began working with cellist David Darling, opening up the world of improvisation and collaboration with other musicians including guitarist T. Fleisher and the band Cybergarden in NYC. For over 25 years he has been the sound engineer/musician supporting Dr. Jean Houston’s transformative work in the field of human personal, social and spiritual development around the world. He is currently in his sixth season at OSF as part of the Community Productions Team.
