If you care about where music is going, not just where it has been, this is your night.

Join us as we move toward the culmination of MOTE 2026 with an evening of sound that challenges, inspires, and lingers long after the final note.

Our 2026 season continues with a special tribute to Morton Feldman’s 100th birthday. Pianist and MOTE co-director performs Feldman’s late masterpiece Triadic Memories.

Premiered in 1981, this landmark work is celebrated for its spacious sense of time, delicate textures, and deeply immersive sound world.

See you tomorrow!
