Upcoming Season
Fuse Ensemble presents their newest season of work entitled Both Sides of the Mirror, a multimedia concert in two parts, beginning Spring 2023 and continuing through 2024. Both Sides of the Mirror: Side A explores reflection, imitation and the current mirroring of our world through technology. Both Sides of the Mirror: Side B examines the mystical, even psychedelic worlds that lie on the other side of the looking glass. Modern-day reflection/self-reference, re/presentation -- and portals to mystical dimensions are richly explored in the full concert of Both Sides of the Mirror as Fuse Ensemble calls upon the audience to contemplate and explore along with them.
Premieres of new music commissioned by Fuse Ensemble was composed for this season by Nicole Mitchell, Gina Biver, Ethan Foote and Steve Antosca, and recent compositions by Juan Carlos Vasquez and Sophia Jani will be presented. An original film by Also Sisters, an original animation by Michael Edwards, and an on-stage, kinetic, playable sculpture by DC artist Jeremy Thomas Kunkel will create a full, immersive concert experience.
