earspace is a contemporary performance ensemble dedicated to creating invigorating multi-sensory performances of music worth believing in. We seek to expose the inherent potentials within every moment and space, cultivating visceral reactions unique to every manifestation. Through our projects, we explore the extremities of contemporary performance and work to bring audiences closer to the music they experience. earspace has performed across the Triangle at CAM Raleigh and less typical venues like the Google Fiber Space, as well as other venues across North Carolina.

Last season, earspace gave the North Carolina premiere of Hans Abrahamsen’s delicate masterwork, Schnee at The Fruit in Durham. In February, the ensemble presented Tracy Bersley’s new staging of As One, a chamber opera by Laura Kaminsky.

In 2018/2019 season, earspace presented "What if the truth is not enough?"—a collaboration with local artists to explore today's political climate and socioeconomic issues via music, poetry, tweets from public officials, and visual projections. We were able to collaborate with award-winning director and projection designer Francesca Talenti, and with local poet and spoken word artist William “Endlesswill” Davis in our performance of compositions by Carlos Bandera, Joshua Clausen, Ted Hearne, Howie Kenty, Julia Wolfe, and a world premiere of a string quartet by Co-Director Richard Drehoff Jr.
