About Hub New Music

Called "contemporary chamber trailblazers" by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a "prime mover of piping hot 21st-century repertoire" (Washington Post). Founded in 2013, the Detroit-based ensemble has commissioned dozens of new works for its distinctive ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. Hub's "nimble quartet of winds and strings" (NPR) actively collaborates with today's most celebrated composers on projects that traverse today's rich musical landscape. Hub New Music is Michael Avitabile (flutes), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinets), Meg Rohrer (violin/viola), and Jesse Christeson (cello). Currently based in Detroit, the ensemble's name is inspired by its founding city of Boston's reputation as a hub of innovation.
