Acclaimed for its ground-breaking performances of avant-garde and experimental concert music, Talea Ensemble is proud to announce its 2025-2026 concert season in its new home in Brooklyn at St. Bartholomew Hall at The Church of St. Luke and St. Mathew (520 Clinton Ave, Brooklyn).
The season begins on October 28 at 7:30 pm, with pianist Steve Beck and trumpet player Sam Jones. The program features Luciano Berio's Sequenzas X and IV, plus the world premiere of Saad Haddad's "Tasalsul VI" for double-bell trumpet, the NY premiere of Loretta Notareschi's "Novella," and music by Thomas Ades, Bohuslav Martinu, and Pierre Boulez. Full program details at bottom of this link.
The October 28 concert is the first of four "Sequenze" programs this season to celebrate Luciano Berio's 100th birth anniversary. Each of these concerts will showcase musicians as soloists performing and curating programs centered around Berio's iconic Sequenza compositions.
The season also features concerts with the full ensemble, including: a program of world premieres written for Talea; a performance of works by Alex Weiser, George Lewis, Pierre Boulez, and Eric Chasalow; and a collaboration with Catapult Opera performing Kaija Saariaho's Émilie. Season details are below.
Executive Director Adrian Morejon says "We are thrilled to share such compelling compositions in our new home at St. Bartholomew Hall at the Church of St. Luke and St. Mathew in Clinton Hill. We cannot wait to play these concerts for New York City audiences, while celebrating Berio's 100th anniversary with dynamic programming from Talea's members."
In addition to the "Talea Presents" series at St. Bartholomew Hall in Brooklyn the Ensemble travels to Minnesota and Upstate New York for performances and residencies in May. Program details here.
