“elegant and exacting” – Boston Globe (Steve Smith)

Hub New Music is an ensemble of artists, entrepreneurs, and educators exploring the possibilities of a new millennium. Hub seeks creative ways of engaging audiences with the latest in 21st century compositions. To do this, we curate experiences that blur together musical genres, forge multidisciplinary relationships, and lead programs that build community through contemporary music.

Formed in 2013 at the New England Conservatory, Hub has had the privilege of working with the nation’s most innovative musical minds, including Robert Honstein, Missy Mazzoli, Kati Agocs, Daniel Wohl, Spencer Topel, and Nathan Davis. In 2014, we launched Composium, a performance project that is part conversation/part concert that brought audiences behind the scenes of new music and garnered attention from the Boston Globe. We collaborated with the Music Department at Dartmouth College, premiering student compositions that explored modes through which listeners interact with music. As part of our collaboration with Dartmouth’s Music Department, we were part of three ensembles worldwide premiering faculty member Spencer Topel’s Details on the Strasbourg Rosace.

“handling tricky ensemble passages with ease” – New Music Box (Will Roseliep)

2015-2016 brings a lineup of exciting projects for us. In August 2015, we presented Soundscapes: The Music of Andrew Norman at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. We will make our Jordan Hall debut presenting a portrait concert of long time collaborator and friend Kati Agocs in January 2016. We will also be in residence at Northeastern University in February 2016, leading a workshop on arts entrepreneurship, reading and performing students works, and giving a resident recital.

In the 2015-2016 season Hub launched Pushing Boundaries, a performance, recording, and commissioning project celebrating genre diversity in 21st century music. Pushing Boundaries showcases concert music influenced by idioms of pop, indie-rock, and electronica, and explores the intersection of genres in new compositions. In addition to live performance, Pushing Boundaries will be made made available for free streaming. Collectively this project, creates an environment in which local and international communities can engage with uninhibited 21st century sound.
