About

Flutist Martha Cargo takes no prisoners, with collaborations spanning from site-specific dance to semi-structured improvisations inspired by giant metal sculptures. Hailed as "excellent" by the New York Times and praised for her "milky" tone by I CARE IF YOU LISTEN, Martha trained at Oberlin, SUNY-Purchase, in Paris, and at Manhattan School of Music before embarking on her freelance career, working actively with Glass Farm, Ghost Ensemble, and numerous other projects throughout New York City. She recently toured with Glass Farm founder-pianist Yvonne Troxler to Switzerland, and in early 2016 began upon the flute/cello duo commissioning project Pieces of Eight with Ben Larsen. To date, the duo has premiered 7 new works, and has 1 more slated for premiere in 2017.

​She currently works as Assistant to the Music Director at the Americas Society on Park Avenue in Manhattan and performs with the professional vocal octet at St. Mary the Virgin.
