    Sixth Degree Sextet is an NYC-based new music ensemble formed by Andrea Abel (flute), Gabriel Henkin (clarinet), Madeline Hocking (violin), Clara Cho (cello), Nacho Ojeda (piano), and Jonathan Collazo (percussion). Hailing from six different countries and united by a shared artistic vision, the ensemble takes its name from the concept of Six Degrees of Separation - the idea that any two people can be connected through a chain of mutual relationships. This program brings that idea of connection into three very different works, each offering its own perspective on relationships between people, places, and ideas. Anuj Bhutani’s Flight Path draws on the composer’s fascination with birds and their migratory journeys, imagining how a shared destination can still allow for an entirely individual path. Erich Barganier’s 91 Hours examines the complicated nature of intimacy, exploring how closeness can exist alongside trauma and how the two can become difficult to separate. Samantha Wolfe’s A Rose Is a Rose Is a Ruse: A Bachelor’s Tale brings the conventions of reality television into the concert hall, complete with romance, declarations of love, and the inevitable - and often hilarious - complications that follow.
