About Octet(chamber)
Octet is a chamber-choir musical by composer Dave Malloy, staged with director Annie Tippe, that examines addiction and a widening sense of meaninglessness as life moves through screens and networks. In New York City it appears in concert settings at Bargemusic and Roulette, where clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein, violinist Mark Peskanov, and the Semplice Players place it alongside Mozart and Schubert. The programming makes a point: the same intimacy that sustains classical chamber music can also frame contemporary unease with technology’s constant pull. Publicly documented NYC premiere details are not specified here, but its local presence signals how quickly new music-theater enters the city’s repertory conversation.
