Henry Samra is a keyboardist, percussionist, and composer from Chicago who specializes in live processing of instruments and guided improvisation, working in the intersection of performance, electronics, and collaborative creation across disciplines. He explores different emotional and sonic worlds, whether that be harnessing the beauty of the accordion or playing with his new music duo Drumset Trombone.

His works have been premiered by Oberlin Percussion Group, the Musikos Collective, and the Hidden Valley Institute for the Arts; he has had works presented at SEAMUS, MOXSonic, Performing Media Festival, and Electronic Music Midwest. Outside of the musical world, he is an avid cyclist and an advocate for sustainable transportation infrastructure. Henry is currently completing a B.M. in Technology in Music and Related Arts (TIMARA) and B.A. in Computer Science at Oberlin College and Conservatory and studies percussion with Ross Karre.
