These works have been heard more than 90 times throughout the U.S. and in Australia, Argentina, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the U.K. Loretto Alfresco was released in the SEAMUS Electro-Acoustic Miniatures 2012: “Re-Caged” and in 2022 was programmed more than 30 times in more than a dozen states by the NACUSA Sounds New chapter. Loretto Alfresco (piccolo) has appeared in several “60x60” mixes and Altro Alfresco appeared in the online journal, ink&coda. Dans le piano was released on Vol. 7 of the New Music by Living Composers series (Petrichor, 2021), and both Loretto Alfresco and Altro Alfresco appear on Ilta (Neuma, 2022). Parallel was premiered during the 2022 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) “Earth Day Art Model” international telematic festival. Fleisher’s Maniondala for solo mallet (performed by Greg Beyer) was released on Long Roll (Albany, 2017) and Ethan Martin performed it at EMM in 2018. Fleisher’s acoustic works also continue to receive performances and recordings in the U.S. and abroad, including Gig Harbor and Six Little Piano Pieces (Martin Jones, piano) in the American Piano Music Series (PnOVA, 2019), Dumkyana (Trio Casals) on Moto Finale (Navona, 2021), 32 Bars for string quartet on SQ (Phasma, 2022), and Five Pieces for Flute and Percussion on Ilta (Neuma, 2022).

Author of Twenty Israeli Composers (1997), he is also a contributing composer and essayist in Theresa Sauer’s Notations 21 (2009). Fleisher’s acoustic music has been described as “eloquent” (Ann Arbor News), “lovely and emotional” (Musicworks), “astoundingly attractive” (Perspectives of New Music), and “ingenious” (Strad); his electroacoustic works have been praised as “fascinating” (Fanfare), “endearingly low tech” and possessing “a rich, tactile texture” (The New York Times).
