  Tickets for New York New Music Festival: Confluss
  November 21-November 21

  Amber Evans, soprano and Sam Zagnit, double bass are confluss – two musicians dedicated to commission and perform new works for the melding timbres of voice and double bass. Convergence is a key part of the duo’s mission, committed to not only expanding the repertoire of their “unconventional” ensemble, but to perform works multiple times, outside of their premiers, codifying performance practice. As a versatile ensemble, both members are well-versed in all styles of music, focusing on the new and unusual, and dabbling between theatre, performance art, and concert music. Evans and Zagnit frequently collaborate with each other outside of the duo in BlackBox ensemble. Recent engagements include concerts at the Roerich Museum on the Upper West Side as part of the Graphic Content Festival, curated by Steven Long, and a spotlight concert at the Tank. Currently based in New York City, the duo has performed in multiple venues around New York, including Spectrum, Merkin Hall at Lincoln Center, the CUNY Graduate Center, and a residency at Manhattan School of Music facilitated by Reiko Fueting. In summer 2023, the duo was the ensemble-in-residence at New Music On The Point on Lake Dunmore, Vermont. Their most recent album release can be found on Bandcamp. Confluss is excited to showcase a broad range of musical styles and influences, including recent premieres by old and new collaborators, and works by Zagnit himself. This program highlights the unique and introspective nature of the ensemble, diving into deep blended and overlapping textures of the voice and double bass.
