/ˈinfrəˌsound/

noun

sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility.
Praised as “vibrant and enthusiastic” by New York Concert Review and called “one of New York City’s most promising groups of young artists” by Chamber Music America, InfraSound is a leading voice in NYC’s experimental music scene.
Since its founding, InfraSound has reimagined the concert experience through innovative programming and multidisciplinary collaborations. Highlights from our past seasons includes performances with fire performers, poets, sound artists, and dancers for the opening of a new Ridgewood venue (‘20-’21 Season); a concert exploring minimalist music titled Reich and Darwin with conductor David Bloom at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music (‘21-’22 Season); a residency with the LGBT Center of Manhattan from 2022-2024 where InfraSound produced six evening-length shows including the world premiere cabaret Lavender Nights (‘21-’22 Season) celebrating queer history through songs from 1920s Weimar, 1940s Paris, and 1950s America; the first ever staged performance of Samuel Beckett and Morton Feldman’s 1961 radio play Words and Music (‘22-’23 Season); and a multidisciplinary collaboration between sculpture Jeremy Martin, sound artist Alex Gray, lighting designer Madeline Whitesell, and the queer-led organization ChamberQueer on a performance titled Dancing to the Music of You (‘23-’24 Season). Book of Sorrows, our debut album with Darian Donovan Thomas will be released on the cmntx record label in Fall 2025, and most recently InfraSound performed the world premiere of a 45-minute chamber opera by Susan Botti called Iconic at St. Malachy’s The Actor’s Chapel in Times Square (‘24-’25 season).
InfraSound is a proud recipient of the Dwight and Ursula Mamlok Prize for Interpreters of Contemporary Music, and grants from Chamber Music America (Ensemble Forward and Classical Commissioning), New Music USA (Organization Development Fund), Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Foundation for the Contemporary Arts (FCA), the Aaron Copland Fund, and support grants through FIGMA and Google.
InfraSound is driven by mutual artist support, interdisciplinary exploration, and community-driven programming. Since our founding in 2019, InfraSound has supported over 70 young musicians, performers, composers, and artists. Our programming continues to expand our reach with over 70 world premieres and arrangements, and 17 dynamic performances over the last five years that advance our mission to shape the evolving landscape of new and experimental classical music. InfraSound emphasizes quality over quantity, and approaches each self-produced show as a chance to create, invent, experiment, and change the ecosystem of experimental music in NYC and beyond.
