About J. Pavone String EnsembleViolist and composer Jessica Pavone premieres a new work for string trio, joined by violinists Charlotte Munn-Wood and Mazz Swift. Formed in 2017, the ensemble performs music that moves fluidly between traditional notation, improvisational instruction, metered passages, and time-based scores.

Pavone is based in Queens and has built an international reputation for expanding the expressive possibilities of the viola. Her work has been presented at The Kitchen, Pioneer Works, Roulette, the Noguchi Museum, ISSUE Project Room, and Socrates Sculpture Park, with recordings on Tzadik, Thirsty Ear, Relative Pitch, and Astral Spirits. She was featured in NPR’s The Mix: 100 Composers Under 40, and her work has received support from Chamber Music America, New Music USA, the Jerome Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, NYSCA, NYFA, and the Queens Arts Fund. JazzTimes has called her “a free-thinker who can’t be pigeonholed.”

This premiere is supported by the NYFA Queens Arts Fund and Chamber Music America.

Qiujiang Levi Lu & Lesley Mok duoLesley Mok is a New York City-based percussionist and sound artist. Their work is guided by a continual search for the connection between the mundane and the divine, the experience and manipulation of time, and a desire to capture emotional dissonance and complexity. Their debut album The Living Collection (American Dreams Records, 2023) was named International Debut Album of the Year at the 2024 Deutscher Jazz Preis; their solo LP transient followed in July 2026.

Qiujiang Levi Lu is an experimental musician, composer, and creative technologist. Described by I Care If You Listen as “brutally cohesive,” Lu works across live performance, electroacoustic instrument design, installation, composition, film scoring, and multimedia collaboration, bringing tenderness and violence into the same sonic space. Lu builds self-made electroacoustic instruments, including intraoral microphone-speaker feedback systems, amplified laptop interfaces, and motion-sensing electronics that extend the body as a site of sound-making.

Bongsu ParkLondon-based Korean artist Bongsu Park is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist. Her work explores the intangible domains of dreams and memory, examining how personal experiences intersect with cultural identity and collective histories. Her recent work explores plants as carriers of memory and cultural knowledge, transforming botanical materials, sensory experiences, and personal stories into collective forms.<
