The California EAR Unit was an American chamber ensemble dedicated to the performance of contemporary classical music. The group was founded in March 1981 in Los Angeles, California. The original members of the EAR Unit were Dorothy Stone; James Rohrig; Amy Knoles and Daniel Kennedy; Gaylord Mowrey and Michael McCandless; Robin Lorentz and Mary Terranova; Erika Duke; and Rand Steiger. By 1983 Terranova, Kennedy and McCandless had departed, and Arthur Jarvinen and Lorna Eder joined. After many years with the same personnel, changes began to occur and one by one original members departed and new performers joined the group. Amy Knoles is the only remaining original member, along with longtime pianist Vicki Ray, and violinist Eric KM Clark. The EAR Unit was formed at the California Institute of the Arts in 1981 by a group of students who had all been performing in the CalArts 20th-Century Players under the direction of Stephen "Lucky" Mosko.
