Rooted in the wide-open landscapes of Wyoming, The Two Tracks create music that fuses rich storytelling, soulful harmonies, and the spirit of the American West. Led by songwriters Julie and Dave Huebner—with Taylor Phillips on bass and Fernando Serna on drums—the band has carved out a sound that nods to ’70s Americana while forging something entirely their own. Dave’s signature cello playing, woven into the band’s strong harmonies, brings a distinctive edge that sets them apart.

Fresh off a trip to Nashville to record their 5th album, they’ll be performing a mix of brand new material and favorites from their past four records.

Founded in 2013, Hub New Music is one of today’s leading contemporary music ensembles. Hub has expanded the repertoire for its distinct combination of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello with over two dozen commissions by today’s most celebrated composers. In its thoughtfully curated programs, Hub New Music performs works exclusively written for the ensemble that strike notes of contemporary relevance.

Recent and upcoming performances include concerts presented by the Kennedy Center, Tanglewood, Seattle Symphony, Morgan Library, Suntory Hall (Tokyo), the Williams Center for the Arts, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center, King’s Place (London), Thailand International Composer’s Festival (Bangkok), Soka Performing Arts Center, Arizona Friends of Chamber Music, Bowdoin International Chamber Music Festival, and the Celebrity Series of Boston. 

Current touring projects include Daniel Wohl’s UFO-inspired electroacoustic piece Mirage, and What If We’re Beautiful, a program exploring queerness, chosen family, and identity with music by Daniel Thomas Davis and choreography by Aaron Loux & Brian Lawson. In recent seasons, Hub has collaborated on commissions with Angélica Negrón, Nico Muhly, Tyshawn Sorey, Donnacha Dennehy, Christopher Cerrone, Carlos Simon, and Kati Agócs, among others. The group has also developed genre-defying collaborations with the Asia/America New Music Institute, Boston’s Urbanity Dance, Silkroad’s Kojiro Umezaki (shakuhachi), and trumpeter/spoken word artist MK Zulu.

Hub New Music’s recordings have garnered consistent acclaim. The group’s recent album with Kojiro Umezaki, a distance, intertwined, featured five works for Hub & shakuhachi which I Care if You Listen called “beautiful, haunting music that presents a clear and authentic dialog between varied cultural paradigms and traditions.” Hub’s debut album, Soul House, released on New Amsterdam Records, was called “ingenious and unequivocally gorgeous” (Boston Globe) and “intensely poignant.” (Textura) In 2022, Hub’s album with Carlos Simon, Requiem for the Enslaved, was nominated for a GRAMMY award for Best Classical Composition. 

Hub is sought after for its multifaceted educational residency programs, having been recent guests at Princeton University, University of Michigan, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, among many others. In 2021, Hub was a resident ensemble for the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Nancy and Barry Sanders Composer Fellowship program for high school aged composers. Also in 2021, Hub launched its flagship K-12 educational program, HubLab, that uses improvisation and storytelling to create original pieces with students of all musical levels. 

Hub New Music is Michael Avitabile (flute), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinet), Magnolia Rohrer (violin), and Jesse Christeson (cello). Proudly based in Detroit, the ensemble’s name is inspired by its founding city of Boston’s reputation as a hub of innovation. Hub New Music is a 501©3 non-profit organization.

Pianist Eric Huebner has drawn worldwide acclaim for his performances since making his

Messiaen and in recital throughout the United States, Germany and Japan. From 2001 

through 2012, Huebner was a member of Antares, a quartet comprised of clarinet, violin, 

cello and piano. First prize winners of the 2002 Concert Artists Guild International

United States and worked closely with many composers on the commissioning of new 

works for its combination.

A devoted teacher as well as performer, Mr. Huebner is Professor and Chair of Music at 

the University at Buffalo (SUNY) where he maintains a studio of graduate and

The 2022 Grand Prize winners at the Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) and Concert

Artists Guild (CAG) Victor Elmaleh Competition, Chromic Duo – artists Lucy Yao and

Dorothy Chan – blends classical music, toy piano, and electronics into genre-fluid

performances and installations. Inspired by the small wonders of the everyday, they

compose sound worlds inspired by the multitudes as Third-Culture Kids discovering their

voices within the vast Asian-American diaspora.

The Duo’s work is intended to look at the smallest objects of the everyday in order to

uncover truths and reimagine how we connect with each other. It often blurs the lines

between film, virtual reality, and augmented reality, but the heart of the ensemble’s

work remains constant: to create an intimacy and sense of wonder in its music that

unravels the story of self-discovery and passion, connecting the dots between grief and

joy, belonging and displacement, and creating community in boundary-pushing

performances and web-based experiences.

Recent highlights include a sold-out performance on the New York Philharmonic’s 

Kravis Nightcap Series, partnering with Welcome to Chinatown to feature AAPI business

owners and artists in an immersive soundwalk in New York City’s Chinatown, working

with the New York Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers program to create a

soundwalk through Central Park, and partnering with the Smithsonian Institute as part of

the National Museum of Asian Art’s 100th Anniversary celebration.

Over two seasons, the Duo acted as Innovators-in-Residence at Purdue University and 

collaborated with the Purdue team to develop and launch the StairWELL project, an

interactive sculpture installation that explored the intersection of art, tech, and wellness. 

The 2023-24 season featured a residency at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX, 

a debut performance for the Celebrity Series in Boston, and a collaboration with Vision 

Duo for “Musicians on the Rise,” a co-presentation between CAG and Kaufman Music 

Center in Merkin Hall.
