Laura Cocks
Gleb Kanasevich and Dave Hurley Duo
Doors 7:30 pm, $15
Laura Cocks is a flutist with “febrile instrumental prowess” (The New York Times), who works in a wide array of environments as a performer of experimental music. They are the executive director and flutist of TAK ensemble, “one of the most prominent ensembles in the United States practicing truly experimental music” (I Care If You Listen), with whom Laura makes musics "that combine crystalline clarity with the disorienting turbulence of a sonic vortex” (WIRE Magazine). [...]
As a soloist, improviser, and chamber musician, they have performed with musicians such as DoYeon Kim, Shara Lunon, Timothy Angulo, yuniya edi kwon, Luke Stewart, Wendy Eisenberg, Lester St. Louis, Brandon Lopez, Madison Greenstone, International Contemporary Ensemble, Sun Ra Arkestra, Wet Ink Ensemble, London Sinfonietta, and many others in NYC and abroad. Laura has been in residence at institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Princeton, Cornell, Wesleyan, Tulane, Oberlin, The Centre for Research in New Music at Huddersfield University, University of Chicago, The Delian Academy for New Music, and many others.[...] They serve as faculty of flute at Brooklyn College, and have served on the performance faculty of The New School College of Performing Arts and The Washington Heights Conservatory.
Local musicians, clarinetist Gleb Kanasevich and percussionist David Hurley, bring their fiery brand of improvisation, exploring unexpected possibilities within shorter form. They often play with textural overlap between their very disparate instruments, test physical endurance, and contemplate the risk of impulse.

Robert Dick, Stephan Haluska, James Ilgenfritz
“A flutist whose technical resources and imagination seem limitless.” –The New York Times
“Dick held the audience in rapt attention with his spellbinding virtuosity” –Washington Post
Robert Dick is a flutist, composer, teacher, inventor, and author. World renowned as the leader in contemporary music for flute, Robert Dick embodies the ideal of the Renaissance artist. With equally deep roots in classical music old and new and in free improvisation and new jazz, he has established himself as an artist who has not only mastered, but redefined the instrument. In 2014, the National Flute Association honored Robert Dick with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
Cleveland-based improviser, harpist, and composer, Stephan Haluska draws from the instrument’s unique textural, percussive, physical, and kinetic qualities. Viewing the harp as a frequently misunderstood and underrepresented instrument in contemporary music, he often rejects conventional modes of playing in favor of finding new ways to expand his sound palette. Stephan plays with an advanced vocabulary of extended techniques and preparations, which explore the use of various tools, materials, gadgetry, and household objects, interweaving elements of found sound, collage, sound art, and movement into his artistic practice. Since 2021, Stephan leads Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project (CUSP) as Managing Director. CUSP is dedicated to strengthening the artistic engagement of the Northeast Ohio community by championing the creation and performance of new and experimental music through concert programming and other events.
Composer and bassist James Ilgenfritz is recognized in the New Yorker for his “characteristic magnanimity” and his “invaluable contributions to New York’s New Music community." James presented residencies at John Zorn’s The Stone in 2015, 2017 and 2018. In 2019 James performed in Anthony Braxton’s Composer Portrait concert at Columbia University’s Miller Theater. James’s notable performances include work with composer/improvisers Pauline Oliveros, Roscoe Mitchell, Rufus Reid, Anthony Braxton, “Blue” Gene Tyranny, and many others. James began New York’s first Suzuki Bass program at Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in 2011, and continued there until 2019, when he left to pursue a PhD in music composition at University of California Irvine. James splits his time between Brooklyn, NY and southern California.
