TAK ensemble

When you support TAK, your contribution strengthens every aspect of our organization. 
From our self-produced concerts, collaborations, and commissions, to our presenting and curatorial work with SWOONFEST and TAK Editions, we couldn't create the forward-thinking and ecstatic music we do without you!
 We approach every TAK project with care and conscious consideration about how our work will elevate not just our own artistry as a group of five, but the incredible network of artists and community builders that surround us. Thank you for sustaining our community, and being part of it!
