Los Angeles-based musician Thacher Schreiber’s interests lie in maintaining a diverse musical repertory, from chamber and solo performances to orchestral playing to contemporary composition.

Thacher has performed in many of the United States’ great concert spaces, including Walt Disney Concert Hall, Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall.  In Southern California, he has appeared with such ensembles as the California Young Artists’ Symphony, Civic Orchestra-Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Symphony, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  An avid chamber musician, Thacher is also a founding member of Los Angeles-based reed quintet Fivemind Reeds, alongside saxophonist Alexander Lee, bassoonist Matthew Rasmussen, and clarinetists Kristine Llanderal and Darren Liou.  Additionally, Thacher is a passionate soloist, and has given more than half a dozen solo recitals, and appeared as a soloist with the Palisades Symphony, CSUN Symphony, and National Repertory Orchestra.
