Clark Art Concert: Hub New Music

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Sunday, Feb. 22 at 3 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents a concert by Hub New Music, a contemporary music ensemble.
 
The performance takes place in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
Hub New Music gives the world premiere of Daniel Wohl's new piece Mirage. This immersive work seamlessly blends electronic and acoustic sounds inspired by the cultural phenomena surrounding UFO-sightings. Using a bit of sci-fi fun, the composer asks the more existential question, "Are UFOs just products of our imagination, projections of our hopes, or something truly alien?".
 
Founded in 2013 in Boston, Hub New Music—a combination of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello—is one of today's leading contemporary music ensembles. Hub New Music's recordings have garnered consistent acclaim, and their 2022 album with Carlos Simon, Requiem for the Enslaved, was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Classical Composition.
 
Tickets $20 ($16 members, $14 college students, $10 children 17 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. All ticket sales are non-refundable.
