Alarm Will Sound is “one of the most vital and original ensembles on the American music scene” (The New York Times). With classical skill and unlimited curiosity, the 20-member ensemble has been associated since inception with composers at the forefront of contemporary music, establishing a reputation for performing innovative music ranging from the arch-modernist to the pop-influenced with energetic virtuosity.
They are joined by Haitian-American artist, performer, composer, and flutist Nathalie Joachim who uses the vibrant tapestry of her voice and electro-acoustic elements to explore her family’s history — and violinist/vocalist Alyssa Pyper, whose debut album, Salt Crust (2021) is a genre-bending dive into the trauma of being Mormon and gay, a grappling for footing while stepping into adulthood. The program will also feature Candied Inferno by Eartheater, Queens-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and vocalist.
