Chamber Music Performance: Room 1078
March 27 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$16.88
Room 1078’s mission is to support the 21st-century evolution of performance as classical musicians, using innovative takes on contemporary repertoire, improvisation, and folk music to break down barriers between musicians and audience members. For them, the process is as much about connecting with audience members as with each other, and they are constantly exploring ways to engage listeners with passion, energy, and precision cultivated in live performance.
Founded at the University of Michigan in 2015, Room 1078 began its journey with the desire to promote the music of student composers. Its debut album, By the Skin of Our Teeth, was released in 2017 and comprises music composed entirely by UM alumnus Nathan Thatcher. The quartet has since incorporated its love of improvisation, experimentation, and folk music to craft intimate, electrifying sets for audiences across the US. Over the past 10 years, they’ve brought electronics, contemporary classical works, standard repertoire, folk music, and their own compositions to the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, the YInMn Project, the Fivesparks Music Festival, Ann Arbor’s Third Place Concert Series, and a range of venues from construction zones and meaderies to living rooms and concert halls. Their 2025 season brought them to the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop and the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Chamber Music @ AEIVA series, where they shared space with writers, composers, and visual artists.
This is a 50-minute performance.
