Opening Gambit Music is co-led by acclaimed musicians Eugene Ball and Tamara Murphy.

Together, they bring over 60 years of experience across all facets of music-making, including performance, arranging, composition, music direction, conducting, teaching, festival programming, series curation, and the coordination of performances, recordings, and tours. 

When needed, we draw on a trusted team of expert players, arrangers, composers, copyists, and music directors to ensure each project gets the support it demands. 

We work closely with clients to deliver outcomes that not only meet but exceed expectations. We strive to create unique, distinctive, and imaginative solutions — because the world doesn’t need more mediocre music.

Every project is approached with pride, care, and a keen eye for detail.
