Yarn/Wire is a NYC-based piano and percussion quartet dedicated to energetic and insightful performances of today’s most adventurous music, and to the promotion of creative, meaningful live musical experiences in the US and abroad. Yarn/Wire started making music together in 2005, focused from the beginning on creating music in partnership with composers, sound artists, noise musicians and more people around the globe who inspired them. Now, some 18 years later, Yarn/Wire is still guided by the same principles of openness, curiosity, and experimentation. New York Classical Review writes: “Yarn/Wire may well be the most important new music ensemble on the scene today.”
