On February 12, in their Music of the Americas debut, the ensemble Tenth Intervention will present a chamber music program "Colectivo: Music from Cuba and New York," including pieces by composers living in Cuba and New York City.

Tenth Intervention is equal parts presenting organization, music series and artist collective in New York City. As "ambassadors of modern music" (Interlochen Public Radio), they present bold and progressive concerts that explore the intersection of performance, experiential art, and its potential to reflect social issues. Founded in 2012 by violinist Hajnal Pivnick and composer/pianist Dorian Wallace, the group forms with the purpose of creating new work in a highly collaborative environment. Together with composers and other artists, the group produces programs that expand the reach of music to be pioneering, diverse, and community-focused.
