NewBorn Trio (Katie Down, Miguel Frasconi, and Jeffrey Lependorf) formed specifically to perform for Kosovo’s first national day of independence—NewBorn Day. This unique ensemble combines handmade and found glass instruments, traditional Asian flutes, plucked strings, and odd sound-making objects to evoke unimaginable musical textures.

Miguel Frasconi is a composer and improviser whose instrumentarium includes glass objects, electronics, and instruments of his own design. He has composed numerous operas, chamber works, dance scores, and has worked closely with composers John Cage, Morton Subotnick, Pauline Oliveros, James Tenney and Jon Hassell.

Jeffrey Lependorf is a composer and visual artist. He is also Executive Director of The Flow Chart Foundation and directs the Art Omi: Music international musicians residency program. A master player of the shakuhachi (traditional Japanese bamboo flute), he also performs with a variety of other Asian flutes and various objects.
