Rex Isenberg is a Los Angeles-based composer whose music has been described as “timeless” and “inviting” (Herald Times, IN). Many of Isenberg’s works touch upon the nature of human relationships from the personal to the societal throughout history and the present day. He is also devoted to expanding the catalog of Jewish liturgical music, with compositions that honor the spirit of the original text while offering renewed meaning for contemporary audiences. Isenberg’s work has been performed throughout the U.S. and abroad by ensembles including JACK Quartet, NOTUS Contemporary Vocal Ensemble, NOW Ensemble, Angeles Chorale, Cecilia Chorus of New York, St. Olaf Cantorei, and Cantori New York. His oratorio Messiahs: False and True was recorded by Choral Chameleon on their debut album, Deus Ex Machina, in 2021, with Tony-nominated actor Paul Hecht as featured narrator. Previous performances of Messiahs: False and True have featured Tony-winning actor Stephen Spinella and Tony-nominated actor Kathleen Chalfant as narrators. Isenberg was 2016-17 Composer-in-Residence for Choral Chameleon and has been a fellow at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, and Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.
