Qubit has its first and only show of Autumn 2026 in two weeks, and it’s going to be a good one.
520 Clinton Ave in Brooklyn, at the Church of St Luke and St Matthew, starting at 7:30pm.
The first half of the program is centered on the annual “Innovator Lab” artist-in-residence program. This Is a series that has been going on annually since 2018, in which an artist is given total carte blanche, so long as there is a a technological component as part of their performance. This year, the honor goes to Taylor Brook, who has spent about a decade developing his own computer-driven improvising system. We’ll see the fruits of his labor with new works written for Jeffrey Gavett, Charlotte Mundy, and Laura Cocks, a formidable trio of some of today's most exciting solo performers. Taylor recently took a position at the University of British Columbia, and will be joining us in Brooklyn for the occasion.
The rest of the program features the full compliment of the TAK ensemble, with three world premieres. The concert is in the enormously reverberant Sanctuary at the Church of St Luke and St Matthew, and each of these pieces will activate the space in unique and beautiful ways.
There are new pieces by Victoria Cheah, who is the current recipient of the Elliot Carter Rome Prize; Anthony Tan, a composer of hauntingly beautiful music with an enigmatic sense of style. Anthony is an Associate Professor at at the University of Victoria—he will also be joining us—making the concert a bit of a glimpse at Canadian music from the West Coast, which has always had a certain kind of influence in experimental music. There will also be a new piece by Alec Hall own, which is once again, of course, inspired by the vocalizations and babbling of the one-year old baby whose parents’ lives she currently runs.
Don’t miss this one, as it might be the last one for a while.
