International Contemporary Ensemble’s flutist Isabel Gleicher is joined by composer, drummer, educator and scholar Jessie Cox, and revolutionary freedom artist MC Spiritchild for an evening in exploring new ways to collaborate and develop sound. In highlighting each artist’s practice, the evening will culminate in a new collaborative work developed in an exquisite corpse style, layering improvisations, sounds, and abstract views of the outside world.

About TUES@7
“Tues@7” are regular opportunities to engage with members and collaborators of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Artists will reflect on past world premieres, pull back the curtain on upcoming works-in-process, and dig deeply into the DigitICE archive to see how collaborations, new works, and sound creations have blossomed over the past 19 years. We look forward to staying engaged in the virtual space through COVID-19 so that our audience and collaborators have a weekly destination for extraordinary new music.
