Sarah Hennies is a visionary American composer and percussionist, who "writes music rife with psychological effects and emotional undercurrents" (The New York Times). Meditative yet propulsive, challenging yet engaging, her work is concerned with a variety of musical and sociopolitical issues, including queer and trans identity and psychoacoustics. For her Portrait, two brilliant ensembles—the Mivos Quartet and Yarn/Wire—perform new works written especially for them.
