Qubit is a new contemporary music and performance art initiative founded in 2010. The group’s two principal objectives are to commission and present emerging composers whose work may not otherwise reach a public audience, and to explore the use of new and cutting-edge technologies in the performance of contemporary music.

Qubit plays a unique role in New York’s contemporary music world.  Founded with the initial support of Alice M. Ditson and Fritz Reiner Foundations, Qubit seeks to bridge the seemingly insurmountable gap between the world of academic “new” music and that of more experimental and avant-garde independent composers, while also producing events that attract diverse audience members who may not have previous experience with new music.  Recognizing the surplus of excellent ensembles and performers currently working in New York, Qubit focuses on programming unique and engaging works of art, bringing adventurous and risk-taking music to a wider audience
