À propos de Yarn/Wire

Yarn/Wire is a New York-based percussion and piano quartet (Ian Antonio and Russell Greenberg, percussion / Laura Barger and Ning Yu, pianos). Noted for their “spellbinding virtuosity” and “restlessly curious” programming (“TimeOut NY”), the ensemble is admired for the energy and precision it brings to performances of today’s most adventurous music.

Founded in 2005, Yarn|Wire is dedicated to expanding the repertoire written for its instrumentation, through commissions and collaborative initiatives that aim to build a new and lasting body of work. Influenced by its members’ experiences with classical music, avant-garde theatre, and rock music, the ensemble champions a varied and probing repertoire.

Yarn/Wire has commissioned American and international composers including Rick Burkhardt, Raphaël Cendo, Alex Mincek, Thomas Meadowcroft, Misato Mochizuki, Tristan Murail, Kate Soper, and Øyvind Torvund. The group has given the United States premieres of works by Enno Poppe, Stefano Gervasoni, and Georg Friedrich Haas, among others. As well, the ensemble enjoys collaborations with genre-bending artists such as Tristan Perich, David Bithell, and Pete Swanson.

Yarn/Wire appears nationally at prominent festivals and venues including New York’s Miller Theatre, River-to-River Festival, La MaMa Theatre, and the Festival of New American Music. Their new and ongoing series, “Yarn|Wire|Currents”, serves as an incubator for new experimental music at ISSUE Project Room in Brooklyn, NY.

In addition to performance and recording projects, Yarn/Wire works to promote new music in the United States through educational residencies and other outreach activities.
