Sofia Jernberg with Tomeka Reid, Craig Taborn, & Ole Morten Vågan

ISSUE Project Room’s 2025 Winter Season Opening concert co-presented with Brooklyn Music School brings together Ethiopian-born Swedish experimental vocalist Sofia Jernberg and American composer-cellist Tomeka Reid. Building on their first collaboration in 2021 – Meditations for Voice & Cello, a digital commission for ISSUE’s Distant Pairs series – the duo reunites for their first-ever live collaboration in the US. This year’s season-opening event will also feature Jernberg and Reid in a unique quartet, joined by NYC-based pianist Craig Taborn and Norwegian bassist Ole Morten Vågan.
