Nanos Operetta is a new music ensemble that works in extended song forms, blending cinematic sound collages, seamless juxtapositions, musical narratives, shifting backgrounds, recurring motifs, and vocal narrations. Employing unconventional instrumentation and found objects, they incorporate elements of ethnic, film, modern chamber, cartoon, and cabaret music into meditations on themes of love, disease, and revolution.

Nanos Operetta have worked with Koichi & Hiroko Tamano, Myra Melford, Ledoh, Tabla Rasa, Chepikov String Quartet, Pamela Wunderlich, Edmund Welles Bass Clarinet Quartet, and Melissa Wolfmann.

They are 2005 Isadora Duncan Recipients for their score to Harupin Ha's evening length work "Serei".

Recent commissions include the score to Iranian filmmaker Bahman Kiarostami's new documentary "Persian Gardens".

Nanos Operetta is the founder and presenter of the 3 Drops of Blood performance series.
