the listening room.
chamber recital series
THE LISTENING ROOM presented six editions in 2009-2010 at Osage Soho, bringing together local and international adventurous music makers from the worlds of contemporary classical, jazz, sound art, electronic music and more. Ten years later in the midst of a global pandemic, the needs of the local music scene have changed. THE LISTENING ROOM in its 2020s edition aims to be a nurturing outpost for progressive and thought-provoking sonic experiences, presenting a deeper dialogue between audiences and practitioners in an environment that encourages the exploration of a wide range of rarely-heard (mostly) acoustic contemporary classical music.The Listening Room 11: BEYOND|SCHISM

Established in 2010, SIGMA is an extension of Osage Group's activities. The name comes from the Greek letter, Σ. Just as the symbol is used in mathematics to indicate the sum of all operations, Sigma is a project based in addition and continually provides supplementary programs and services to the Osage Group. Sigma is an experimental platform, allowing it to expand and include artistic and cultural ideas and projects that fall outside the purview of Osage Gallery and Osage Art Foundation.
