ISSUE invites members, students, and special guests to experience an open rehearsal of the newly commissioned work “What If?” by String Noise Sounds composed by Christian Wolff.

ISSUE is pleased to present Surge: Intricate Things and Dangerous Tools (previously "Performance #1"), the first commission from 2024 Artist-In-Residence Joni. The artist will present work-in-progress showings and new compositions of incredibly revealing, intimate and visceral sound work, alongside new ceramic pieces.

ISSUE celebrates legendary pianist and composer Christian Wolff’s 90th birthday at Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village. The event will feature performances of chamber works spanning from 1950 to present day, plus a new world premiere by Wolff himself.

Experimental Nordic artists Avant Joik make their 2024 U.S. debut at ISSUE Project Room. Blending traditional joik language and vocal experimentation using electronic soundscapes, Indigenous Sámi singer Katarina Barruk (vocals/joik) and acclaimed experimentalist Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje (vocals and live electronics) perform with live visuals by Sámi artist Matti Aikio. Renowned experimental vocalist and composer Joan La Barbara will open the evening.
