Yarn/Wire is hosting its eleventh annual International Institute May 28-June 6, 2026 in New York City. Events will take place at Roulette (Brooklyn), Yarn/Wire’s studio (Ridgewood, Queens), and at The Manhattan School of Music. In 2026, the Institute will focus 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.
