**The Tri-Centric Experiencers Unit** is an evolving collective of Chicago musicians exploring the creative work of the groundbreaking composer-performer **Anthony Braxton**. First convened for an ensemble performance in 2024 featuring a multilayered rendition of Braxton’s modular, ’trans-idiomatic’ works, for this performance the focus is brought to a single piece: Composition 76, a landmark hybrid of notation, graphics, and improvisation featured on the historic 1977 Arista record For Trio. Expect the unexpected as multi-instrumentalists **Jackson, Nagy**, and **Zucker** bring a multitude of instruments big and small to realize the provocative score, in which trace of every dynamic, experimental music from bebop to Cagean silence to sound poetry might be heard.
