earspace is a contemporary performance ensemble dedicated to creating invigorating multi-sensory performances of music worth believing in. We seek to expose the inherent potentials within every moment and space, cultivating visceral reactions unique to every manifestation. Through our projects, we explore the extremities of contemporary performance and work to bring audiences closer to the music they experience. earspace has performed across the Triangle at CAM Raleigh and less typical venues like the Google Fiber Space, as well as other venues across North Carolina.
For earspace’s first project outside of North Carolina, we have partnered with Baltimore-based and internationally acclaimed soprano Ah Young Hong to present the US premiere of Hans Abrahamsen's "Two Inger Christensen Songs.” earspace violist Lena Vidulich will perform co-director Richard Drehoff Jr.’s new viola work, "The eye-trunks, grasping each other tightly, and the visible wet air exhale." The evening will culminate with our second performance of Abrahamsen’s stunning exploration of snow-inspired textures, his evening-length “Schnee."
