Converging Voices

hub new music’s next generation of commissions

Hub’s latest initiative, Converging Voices, supports the work of young professional composers. The goal of the initiative is to foster peer-to-peer collaborations with composers in the earlier stages of their careers. 

Across three cycles, Hub will feature up to nine total 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.

Cycle 1 (2026-2028): Elijah Daniel Smith, Geli Li, Akshaya Avril Tucker

Cycle 2 (2028-2030): TBA

Cycle 3 (2030-2033): TBA

meet our first Cohort (2026-2028)
