Explosive and wistful, sinonΓ³ draws on Latin American folk and free improvisation to create a space of crackling aliveness. Described as β€œmiddle-of-the-night music” (Dada Strain), the trio features vocalist and composer isabel crespo pardo, cellist Lester St. Louis, and bassist Henry Fraser. Together, they perform crespo's "poemsongs" - pieces built around metaphor and improvisation that shift in performance, but always remain tied to poetry and breath. sinonΓ³ has performed at venues such as Roulette Intermedium, The DiMenna Center, and Lincoln Center Atrium. Their debut album la espalda y su punto radiante (Subtext Recordings) released in Spring 2024. They will record their sophomore album this Fall at Pioneer Works (Brooklyn, NY). 

Katie Porter is a clarinetist and curator specializing in experimental music. Passionate about creating musical communities, she co-founded the venue Listen/Space (Brooklyn) and curates the Listen/Space Commissions, responsible for 46 new works for mixed chamber group. She also co-directs the biennial VU Symposium for experimental, improvised and electronic music (Park City, Utah) and is working on a giant multi-year project of experimental works for solo clarinet at Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels, a land artwork in remote northern Utah. She currently lives in New York City.

Porter will perform the US premiere of the piece "Phase to Phase for two bass clarinets" with a special guest from Argentina by way of Berlin. Phase to Phase was released on the Japanese label FTARRI.
