Tribeca New Music Presents: Orange Road Quartet | Best in Score 2026

Kick off Tribeca New Music’s season with Best in Score 2026, an evening celebrating some of today’s most compelling established and emerging composers. The Orange Road Quartet returns for a program spanning generations, cultures, and wildly different musical perspectives—including works by acclaimed composer and mentor Christopher Cerrone and his student Sandro Tsikoridze, whose Common Swift receives its world premiere. Also featured are Reena Esmail’s haunting Zeher, inspired by the composer’s experience with severe illness; Peni Candra Rini’s life-affirming Hujan, a musical celebration of rain and renewal; and two works by the 2026 TNM Young Composer Competition First Prize winners, Luca Pasquini and Will Stackpole.

From ghosts and ancestral memory to wandering minds, birds struggling to take flight, and the restorative power of rain, this is a concert full of vivid stories and distinctive new musical voices. Hear the next generation of composers alongside the artists and mentors helping shape their future—and experience two world-class premieres in an intimate New York setting. Through Groupmuse Nights Out, tickets are just $15 for this special season-opening concert. 🎻✨
