Program

Founded in 2000, Zs has existed as a trio, sextet, and quartet, now solidified into the trio formation of Patrick Higgins, Greg Fox, and Sam Hillmer – all renowned musicians in their own right, but producing together some of the most exciting new music in New York City today

Manipulating extended technique, unique instrumental synthesis, Zs aims to create works that envelop the listener and unfold sonically over time, evoking unspoken past, present, and future rites and ritual.

\'Zs sure do sound like masters of their craft.\' -Pitchfork\'
Zs is a band; it’s also a perpetual itch, an index of unease around the restrictions of genre in New York experimental music.\' - New York Times

\'One of the strongest avant-garde bands in New York.\' - New York Times

\'Zs play meticulous, exacting music in which no note sounds accidental or hastily arranged. It\'s a fact worth keeping in mind as they also seem compelled to scramble everything that \'meticulous\' and \'exacting\' might mean.\' -Wall Street Journal

\'acclaimed New York avant-chamber ensemble Zs [creates] pioneering experimental work...\' -The New Yorker

“Don’t be hoodwinked by the name – if you’re looking for a band that’s impossible to nod off to, Zs are the fellas” -FACT Magazine (UK)
