About Yarn/Wire
Artist Biography
The Yarn/Wire quartet of two pianists and two percussionists takes an active role in the creation of new music. The group has emphasized music by members of racial and gender minority groups. Yarn/Wire state that they are "devoted to expanding the representation of composers including but not limited to those who identify as women, LGBTQIA+, Black, African, Indigenous, Latina(o)(x), Asian, or Arab so that it might better reflect our communities and amplify their full creative potential." Yarn/Wire has performed works commissioned from composers Tyondai Braxton, Kate Soper, and Øyvind Torvund, among many others, as well as developing projects with such figures as Tristan Perich, Mark Fell, and Sufjan Stevens. In 2021, Yarn/Wire was featured on an album of new music by experimental composer Annea Lockwood.
