Qubit Qubit is a contemporary music and performance art initiative founded in 2010.

Its principal mission is to foster the development of emergent voices by working with young composers whose work has yet to reach wide audiences and to explore and develop new. Starting its twelfth season this year, Qubit has made a significant mark on the international landscape of contemporary music and experimental culture. Recognizing the surplus of exceptional ensembles and performers current

ly working in New York, Qubit focuses on programming adventurous and risk-taking works of art. In addition, by establishing as its core practice the integration of cutting-edge music technologies, Qubit challenges conventional curatorial practices and strives to engage audiences in unique and new methods.
