Collage New Music presents their season finale, celebrating the rich mosaic of home in America, honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary. At its heart is the world premiere of Mosaics of Home, a new work What is Home? commissioned by Collage in collaboration with Eighth Blackbird (Chicago) and the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble (San Francisco). This 45-minute composition, crafted by six composers, explores the question, “What does home mean to you today?” Spanning the East and West Coasts, the piece reflects the multifaceted experiences that define the United States. Following this premiere, the work will be presented in Midwest and West Coast performances in 2026-27.
In preparation, Collage partners with Shelter Music Boston to perform a pre-premiere concert for homeless individuals in the city.
