Join us Thursday October 15 for Live from Troutman, featuring Ashkan Behzadi’s Forsythia.
We tried to find the right adjectives for this piece but “crazy” was the only one that stuck, in a delirious and cathartic kind of way.

We’re excited to play it for you at Troutman before heading into the studio the very next day to record it!

Free with RSVP at link in bio, seating is limited.

The 2026 Yarn/Wire Institute is a wrap!
What a fantastic week with our 2026 participants: .duo Tac2us Catalizador and Tran + Maelstrom

It was incredible to witness how much each project developed over the course of the week, the amount of growth, refinement and discovery between the first presentations and the final performances was so impressive and our minds were blown away by each participant’s curiosity, commitment and creativity.

We’re so excited to welcome these groups into the Yarn/Wire Institute alumni community and can’t wait to see where their work takes them next!

Huge thanks to .nyc for hosting and supporting the Institute, and special thanks to and for the administrative and technical support throughout the week!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Currents 12 at the and at last week! This edition of the series was co-commissioned by the Moers Festival and featured new works by Jonah Haven and Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir.

Jonah entrusted us with a deeply personal work inspired by the poetry of Mary Oliver, Bergrun made us into a superorganism (particularly effective in this resonant church, see slide 3!!) thank you both for your generosity and imagination in creating these new pieces for us ✨

If you weren’t able to attend, the archival livestream is available online the website.

Being at the felt like stepping into an amazingly joyful world built entirely around curiosity, openness, and musical experiments✨

We began on the main stage with ‘s After Nan Shepherd: stark, dark, spacious music that felt really thrilling to share in that setting. It was also wonderful to collaborate with the luminous@taraling for the first time on this project!

Then came Currents 12, featuring pieces by Jonah Haven and . The resonance in the church was extraordinary, and this program is both beautiful and weird in the best of ways. If you missed it at Moers, we’re bringing the program to in NYC THIS THURSDAY.

There was also the Pianomobil (a Moers institution) got to perform for residents at a retirement home, rolling through the park, and bring music into unexpected corners of the city.

We’re very grateful to everyone who listened, organized, helped, and shared these days with us.
