Ben Richter is a Artistic and Executive Director at Ghost Ensemble. He possess expertise in music, orchestral music, editing, composition, chamber music and 45 more skills. He is proficient in Spanish, German and French. Colleagues describe him as "The orchestral and choral music Ben writes/conducts is both beautiful and haunting. His integration of limitless imagination with strong musical technique transports the listener to an entirely new world." and "Ben's music is a delight and a challenge to play. One of the best parts of playing Ben's music is getting to work with Ben: He's confident in his ideas, curious, and amiable and has a quiet puckishness that belies the deep reserve of intellect and stillness that inform his music and, indeed, his approach to all his work. Ben makes his players feel secure in the music and an equal member of the team, and I look forward to working with him again."
