Cleek Schrey

Described by the Irish Times as “a musician utterly at one with his
instrument and his music,” Cleek Schrey is a fiddler and composer from Virginia. An active member of traditional music communities in America and Ireland, he plays in the Ghost Trio with Ivan Goff and Iarla O Lionaird. His work has been presented at
Pioneer Works Center for Art and Innovation in Brooklyn, Storm King Art Center, the
Kilkenny Arts Festival, the Lumen Performance Art Festival, and the Bridge
Progressive Art Center. Cleek frequently makes music for dance, having worked with
choreographers Douglas Dunn and Bill T. Jones and percussive dancers Sandy Silva and
Nic Gareiss. He also works closely with the renowned Beckett theater company, Gare
St. Lazare, as a composer and musician. He has studied composition with David
Behrman, Paul Caputo, Bunita Marcus, and Walter Zimmermann. The journal Sound Post
has noted that Cleek “possesses a rare combination of traits: deep respect for
traditional music and the people who make it, and an unbounded curiosity about new
directions for sound.” He is currently pursuing a Masters in Music Composition at
Wesleyan University.
