Quantum Breaks II New York Performances

At Roulette, Aaron Burnett and the Big Machine bring **Quantum Breaks II** to a New York audience, positioning the project where contemporary classical writing and open improvisation overlap. The lineup includes trumpeter **Peter Evans**, drummer **Nick Jozwiak**, bassist **Carlos Homs**, and composer and multi-instrumentalist **Tyshawn Sorey**, whose work moves between concert music, jazz practice, and academia. The piece treats ensemble sound as a set of shifting systems rather than fixed roles, with structure emerging in real time. In a city that has long served as a proving ground for hybrid forms, the program reads as a document of that ongoing tradition.
