Progressive Chamber Music Festival (Day 1)

Sirius Quartet Presents: The 2023 Progressive Chamber Music Festival

The 8th annual Progressive Chamber Music Festival, curated by the Sirius Quartet, features 6 such ensembles, each with unique identities and a shared desire to define chamber music on their own terms. From NYC heavyweights such as pianist Matthew Shipp and Shoko Nagai, to up-and-coming torch bearers like Jake Charkey and TreeSearch, the festival will put NYC’s vibrant and eclectic music scene on full display. These are chamber music ensembles of the 21st century, not defined by genre, nor limited by the distinction between concert and popular music, and blurring the lines between performer, composer, and improviser. This is progressive chamber music.
