New York’s TAK “impresses with the organicity of their sound, their dynamism and virtuosity — and, well, just a dash of IDGAF as they slay the thorniest material like it’s nothing” (Q2 Music).

In this super charged concert you’ll hear works by Erin Gee (USA), Kate Soper, Ashkan Behzadi, David Bird, and William Kuo. You’ll also hear premieres by Cluster co-directors Luke Nickel and Eliot Britton. Instruments will combine with the elastic voice of Charlotte Mundy—as well as electronics, projections, and even roller coasters!—in a free-spirited and joyous exploration of contemporary chamber music.

TAK is: Laura Cocks (flute), Carlos Cordeiro (clarinet), Charlotte Mundy (voice), Marina Kifferstein (violin), and Ellery Trafford (percussion)
