The New York Times has called Ann Ellsworth's playing "outrageous" and "splendidly projected." She is the solo horn player for the Grammy-nominated Absolute Ensemble and has been a member of the Esbjerg Ensemble, Manhattan Brass, Baltimore Opera, Phoenix Symphony, and Philharmonica del Bajio. An active soloist and chamber musician, Ms. Ellsworth has performed on several continents and can be heard in numerous recordings, film and television scores, and radio broadcasts. As Artist in Residence at the Lang College of the New School, she led many ground-breaking interdisciplinary events involving improvisation, dance, videography, and landscape architecture. Ms. Ellsworth is committed to early music and has presented a lecture recital at the Metropolitan Museum of Art using original instruments from their collection. As an advocate of new music, she is a founding member of the New Music and Culture Symposium and has premiered six new works in the past three years. In the summer of 2008 she performed Peter Maxwell Davies' Strathclyde Concerto with the Dartington Festival Orchestra in England. Ms. Ellsworth attended the Eastman and Juilliard Schools, with further study in Oslo, Norway and St. Petersburg, Russia. She has held faculty positions at numerous schools in the New York City area and joined the Stonybrook faculty in September 2009.
