Electric Dreams with Rossini Club
From Rossini Club:
Dialogue between innovation and tradition have always been an integral aspect of art, music most especially included — it’s hard to believe, at times, that the development and improvement of our instruments themselves is an ongoing process that stretches back for hundreds of years. But what does this look like when electronics meet an acoustic genre? And how does a composer respond to new sounds? Come for a curated concert featuring music of composers Saariaho, Tanaka and Lang in contrast and conversation with Brahm’s beloved clarinet trio.
Kaija Saariaho, Oi kuu | Brahms, Trio for Clarinet, Cello & Piano Op. 114 | Karen Tanaka, Techno-Etudes | Bernhard Lang, Monadologie XXVII (Brahms Variations)
March 9-15, 2026 — St. Paul’s Episcopal Church — Nantucket, Massachusetts
Kinetic Ensemble: Dark Matter at the Cullen Theater
From Kinetic Ensemble:
As winners of Performing Arts Houston’s 2025/2026 New/Now award, we are thrilled to present the world premiere of Dark Matter, a concerto for flute and strings by composer Jaylin Vinson, on a shared program with fellow winners Mezclada Dance Company led by Joel Aguilera and Kay Prince. Vinson’s new work features flutist Tyler Martin, and takes inspiration from the speculative worlds of Octavia Butler, who redefined the boundaries of science fiction and, in so doing, offered expansive visions of Black futures.
As 2026 marks twenty years since Butler’s passing, this new work celebrates the ongoing legacy of the Black imagination in speculative and science fiction. "Dark Matter" unfolds across five movements, each exploring a different kind of space — from the grounded to the galactic, the digital to the mental interior. The work employs sonic storytelling as a modality of the continued exploration of Black futures, building new mythologies and folklore through sound.

Kinetic Ensemble: The Stranger's Case at MATCH Theater
From Kinetic Ensemble:
We are thrilled to partner with Musiqa to present the world premiere of Canadian-American composer Karim Al-Zand’s The Strangers’ Case. The GRAMMY® award-winning, Lebanese-American tenor Karim Sulayman joins the ensemble for this song cycle for tenor and string orchestra that gathers poems and other turn-of-the-century accounts by immigrants to the United States, and situates them among texts from canonically venerated authors including Shakespeare and Dickinson.
The Strangers’ Case will be preceded by the incidental music to Igor Stravinsky’s ballet Apollon Musagète, which he wrote contemporaneously with many of Al-Zand’s texts. Both the composer and his longtime collaborator, choreographer George Balanchine, have cited Apollon as a turning point in their careers: the pair themselves later immigrated to the United States, where their professional partnership continued to flourish.

Kinetic Ensemble and Miguel Zénon: Yo Soy La Tradición
From Kinetic Ensemble:
The GRAMMY® winning saxophonist and composer, Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón returns to Houston for a special performance at the Hobby Center presented by Kinetic Ensemble and Aperio, Music of the Americas. In this one-night only event, Zenón joins Houston’s own Billboard Chart-topping Kinetic Ensemble for the premiere of a new version of Yo Soy La Tradición, a suite of eight songs for saxophone and string orchestra based upon his 2018 album of the same name. This evening-length work has been described as an “imaginative and heartfelt tour” of Zenón’s native Puerto Rico, which he originally recorded just two days after Hurricane Maria made its landfall on the island.
Each of the eight pieces showcases a different cultural tradition, ranging from Germán Rosario’s songwriting in the Jibaro tradition, which Zenón sets as a fugue, to the religious tradition of “La Promesa,” represented by a harmonic meditation of three, simultaneously-improvising cellists. As a whole, this captivating work “blurs lines between jazz, classical and Puerto Rican folk music.”

From Opus Nova:
A Baroque masterpiece, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons has for centuries inspired musicians, including modern composers who use aesthetics and ideas from the original to express their own, individualistic versions. Experience a unique performance that blends Astor Piazzolla’s tango-flavored version, Max Richter’s minimalistic reimagining, and Vivaldi’s original work. Brand new transitions, written by composer Alexander Timofeev, will help bind these versions together and unify these distinct compositions.”
Performers include Ke Mai (violin), Molly Baer (violin), DJ Cheek (viola), Mikhail Berestnev (piano), Stas Chernyshev (clarinet) and Ann Hung (clarinet).

Kinetic Ensemble: Notes Unspoken at MATCH Theater
Kinetic Ensemble continues its momentum into its second decade as one of Houston’s most exciting chamber ensembles, with thoughtfully curated, innovative, and artistically excellent performances. At the center of this season-opening concert program is Benjamin Britten’s Double Concerto for Violin and Viola (1932), which features Kinetic founder and Artistic Director Natalie Lin Douglas (pictured above center) and core violist Sebastian Stefanović (pictured above right) as soloists.
Accompanying the Double Concerto will be the premiere of a new string arrangement of Unstrung by Rice graduate Alex Berko (pictured above left), which pays homage to the bluegrass traditions of Kentucky; Michael Torke's December, which evokes the "cozy cheer" the composer felt on his paper route in the early days of Milwaukee winter; and American composer Libby Larsen’s String Symphony (1999), a lush and expansive work that pays homage to strings and explores the notion of an “American English” musical vernacular.
Our vision for this program as a whole is one that captures the inventiveness, virtuosity, and the expressive capability of the string orchestra as a powerful symphonic body.
