Here are some nice things people have said about my music.

  • "I was literally knocked sideways...Zach’s music is heartbreaking, powerful, tender, and absolutely beautiful...the writing for the voice AMAZING...one of the greatest American voices."

    - JoAnn Falletta (Conductor)

  • “...the music itself becomes a character that both connects and divides the others.”

    - Ben Brantley (NY Times)

  • “Redler’s music conveyed fresh beauty”

    - Anne Midgette (Washington Post)

  • “Redler’s triumph was to strike a near-ideal balance between tuneful immediacy and...well-crafted musical comfort food.”

    - Gaven Borchert (Seattle Times)

  • Redler’s stunning score...was invigorating and often epic, and the experience reminded me of why I love opera so much–the art form’s unrivaled ability to evoke staggering emotions across the spectrum."

Rose’s Song

This piece was inspired by one of best friends and collaborators, Tanya Birl, and a discussion she had with her 72-year-old cousin Rose about Rose’s life. I improvised the piano part. Then my father-in-law, Bryson Borgstedt, improvised the flute on top of the piano part (1000 miles away).
