We're jumping into a new season, and we need your help to make it our best one yet!

A Year in Review

Coming off the heels of our previous season, we're launching the next chapter of our organization's work to champion the music of our time. Our season was centered around a series of special projects - a dance performance, The Sound of Space Between Us, at the Clark Art Institute, and a radio play, Borrowed Landscape, by the playwright duo tauchgold with music by Dai Fujikura at the Noguchi Museum and Smithsonian Museum of Asian Art. We also celebrated our ensemble's first five years with a weekend-long festival highlighting the breadth of our musicians and collaborators, which included our debut at the iconic New York venue Roulette. We also continued our work supporting the next generation of musicians and composers with residencies at the University of Florida, University of Michigan, NYU, and the Kaufman Music Center's Special Music School.

The proof of our work is in the numbers. In our last season, season, we held 16 performances, presented 11 world premieres, 6 New York premieres, and engaged 40 artists, including musicians and interdisciplinary collaborators, a testament to the scope of our artistic community.
