Coming up in just over a week! The 1st show of our fall season, feat sinonó (isabel crespo pardo, lester st. louis, henry fraser) and the formidable bass clarinet duo of Katie Porter & a special guest from Berlin/Argentina.

Presented with CROMA

Poster for concert with photos of sinonó and Katie Porter with the text CROMA: An Uncommon Open Space by ágora, Fall Season 2025 sinonó and Katie Porter duo, September 14th – 7:00pm with logos and a QR code to get tickets Explosive and wistful, sinonó draws on Latin American folk and free improvisation to create a space of crackling aliveness. Described as “middle-of-the-night music” (Dada Strain), the trio features vocalist and composer isabel crespo pardo, cellist Lester St. Louis, and bassist Henry Fraser. Together, they perform crespo's "poemsongs" - pieces built around metaphor and improvisation that shift in performance, but always remain tied to poetry and breath. sinonó has performed at venues such as Roulette Intermedium, The DiMenna Center, and Lincoln Center Atrium. Their debut album la espalda y su punto radiante (Subtext Recordings) released in Spring 2024. They will record their sophomore album this Fall at Pioneer Works (Brooklyn, NY). Katie Porter is a clarinetist and curator specializing in experimental music. Passionate about creating musical communities, she co-founded the venue Listen/Space (Brooklyn) and curates the Listen/Space Commissions, responsible for 46 new works for mixed chamber group. She also co-directs the biennial VU Symposium for experimental, improvised and electronic music (Park City, Utah) and is working on a giant multi-year project of experimental works for solo clarinet at Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels, a land artwork in remote northern Utah. She currently lives in New York City. Porter will perform the US premiere of the piece "Phase to Phase for two bass clarinets" with a special guest from Argentina by way of Berlin. Phase to Phase was released on the Japanese label FTARRI.
