Converging Voices

hub new music’s next generation of commissions

Hub’s latest initiative, Converging Voices, supports the continued growth of rising composers. The goal of the initiative is to foster peer-to-peer collaborations with composers as they further their professional careers. 

Across three cycles, Hub will feature up to three early-career composers across three cycles beginning in 2026 and extending through Hub New Music’s 20th anniversary in 2033. The result is a body of work that points toward a vibrant artistic future for creators and listeners alike.
