Experiential Orchestra

The Grammy®️-winning Experiential Orchestral (EXO) brings audiences close to the music by engaging listeners through imaginative, immersive, and interactive concert experiences. Founded by Music Director James Blachly in 2009, EXO’s performances and recordings have been described as “strikingly persuasive” by the San Francisco Chronicle and “immaculate” by Musical America, and have been praised for having “luscious tone and poise” by Classics Today. American Counterpoints, released in 2024 on the Bright Shiny Things label, has been nominated for two 2025 Grammy® Awards, in EXO's first release since their 2021 Grammy® Award winning world premiere recording of Dame Ethel Smyth's The Prison.
