Hub New Music Tickets

Hub New Music is a Detroit-based contemporary classical ensemble renowned for its bold, cross-cultural programs that fuse electroacoustic elements with multimedia experiences. Since forming in 2013, the group has built a dynamic profile through commissioning dozens of new works, expansive touring, and a commitment to education and community engagement. The ensemble showcases a blend of refined chamber textures with modern technology, inviting audiences to experience music that explores identity, memory, and sound in novel ways.

Comprised of Michael Avitabile (flute), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinet), Magnolia Rohrer (violin/viola), and Jesse Christeson (cello), Hub New Music embraces collaboration with living composers and artists, creating programs that travel widely and engage diverse audiences. The group’s focus on accessibility and learning is embodied in their HubLab residencies, launched in 2021, which support education-focused outreach and hands-on learning opportunities for aspiring musicians and creators.

The ensemble’s work has earned critical recognition, including a Grammy nomination in 2022 for Requiem for the Enslaved, composed with Carlos Simon, in the Best Classical Composition category. Hub New Music continues to push boundaries with world premieres, new commissions, and thoughtful programming across the United States and beyond.
