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 holds positions in the California Young Artists Symphony and Civic Orchestra-Los Angeles, and has appeared with such ensembles as the Santa Monica Symphony, the San Gabriel Valley 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 and CSUN Symphony.

Thacher has degrees in performance from UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music and the New School’s Mannes School of Music, where he studied with Dr. Jonathan Davis and professor Ryan Roberts, respectively.  Beyond his studies with Davis and Roberts, Thacher has worked with many of the world’s great oboists and educators, including Nicholas Daniel, Cynthia Koledo DeAlmeida, Elaine Douvas, Juliana Koch, Marion Kuszyk, Toyin Spellman-Diaz, and Sherry Sylar.

In addition to his work in performance, Thacher is also an avid composer, and is currently a member of the composition studio at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, where he studies with Richard Danielpour, Peter Golub, Ian Krouse, David Lefkowitz, and Kay Rhie.
