YARN/WIRE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE

THE MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC - NEW YORK

June 5, 7:00 PM - BOSSI-COMELLI STUDIO

Now in its 11th year, the Yarn/Wire International Institute takes place May 28-June 5, 2026 in New York City. This year, the Institute is focused on ensemble / composer creative collaborations. Yarn/Wire will guide emerging ensembles and their collaborators on building new work together and maintaining artistic relationships over time, in the same spirit that we have created music and sonic art over the past 20 years.

Join us at The Manhattan School of Music (Bossi-Comelli Studio) for 5 presentations of collaborative projects from our ensemble+creator participants.
