Bringing New Music to the Heart of Houston
Loop38 is a boundary-pushing, artist-driven new music ensemble based in Houston, Texas, that aims to build community around innovative, stimulating, and culturally relevant musical experiences. Since their debut in 2016, Loop38 has performed a wide range of works by local composers, young and upcoming voices, and globally established artists. Frequenting a variety of neighborhoods throughout Houston, Loop38 has performed in venues such as the Rothko Chapel, the Turrell Skyspace at Rice University, the Galveston Artists Residency, the Silos at Sawyer Yards, the Live Oak Friends Meetinghouse, MATCH, and the Archway Gallery.
Essential to Loop38 is the desire to curate unique programs through collaborations with composers and artists of other disciplines. Past partnerships have involved the Performing Arts Houston, Houston Contemporary Dance Company, Rice University Theater Department, Apollo Chamber Players, Kinetic Ensemble, WindSync, the University of Houston’s Blaffer Art Museum, Musiqa, and several artists-in-residence at the Sawyer Yards.
