New-York-based quartet HYPERCUBE combines contemporary art music with rock-and-roll in true Big Apple fashion, and it will bring that energetic style to CCM next week during its three-day residency with the Composition Program. The residency includes two performances and a workshop with CCM composition students.

HYPERCUBE will be in residence at CCM from Monday, Feb. 20 to Wednesday, Feb. 22. The residency includes an 8 p.m. recital on Monday in CCM’s Robert J. Werner Recital Hall and an open workshop with CCM student composers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, also in Werner. The ensemble’s final concert will feature work composed especially for HYPERCUBE by CCM student composers at 8 p.m. on Wednesday in Werner.
The group consists of Erin Rodgers, saxophone; Jay Sorce, guitar; Andrea Lodge, piano and Chris Graham, percussion. While they often play works that call for all four instruments, the members will often perform duos and trios during their recitals.
Formerly known as the IKTUS Combo, HYPERCUBE has been performing as an ensemble since 2012 and has made appearances at universities and new music festivals across the eastern U.S.
“Hypercube is no stranger to CCM; they performed and did some workshops with our students last year as the IKTUS Combo. They are amazing performers who give electrifying performances,” said Michael Fiday, associate professor of composition at CCM.
