bio

Traditional concerts become immersive environments.

Sam Brukhman is a conductor, director, and creative entrepreneur working at the intersection of music, immersive experience, and emerging technology. His work reimagines the concert as a living environment, using voice, space, narrative, visual media, and interactive systems to explore the human experience. Through his studio practice, Brukhman develops new forms of performance that connect live music with AI, electronics, and spatial design, expanding how audiences encounter art in an increasingly immersive and technologically mediated world.

He is the founder and artistic director of Verdigris Ensemble, a vocal collective known for experimental performances that combine choral music with projection, movement, and spatial design.
