Chicago is an unparalleled domain for composers honing their voice, and our ongoing residency at the University of Chicago continues to foster friendships and incubate partnerships that thrive to this day, drawing together the mutually essential communities of composers, performers, and collaborators. For this stylistically diverse concert, each combination of Spektral +1 (composer), Plus One (collaborator) creates a potent new cocktail of energetic and sonic possibilities.

We’ll be treating you to world premieres by dynamo composers Will Myers, JB Lee, Maria Kaoutzani, Darlene Castro, Baldwin Giang, and David Clay Mettens. Our list of esteemed collaborators includes Hannah Collins (cello), Ben Roidl-Ward (bassoon), Katie Schoepflin (clarinet), Doug Perkins (percussion), and Jesse Langen (guitar).
