Curtis K. Hughes (Lecturer in Music Theory at MIT) and David T. Little return to Killian Hall this November as the curators of the second annual National Insecurity concert! After the rousing success of last year's concert, Hughes and Little are back with a line up of top musicians playing politically charged and socially relevant music by some of today's most exciting young composers, including: Dennis DeSantis, Sophocles Papavasilopoulos, Judd Greenstein, Missy Mazzoli, and Keeril Makan, as well as political music veterans John Halle and Frederic Rzewski, and music by Little and Hughes.

For this year's concert, Hughes and Little have invited Free Speech Zone, a composers collective from New York City, to bring their Fall tour to Cambridge. Featuring the NOW Ensemble in a return performance to Cambridge, and Newspeak in it's Cambridge debut, The Free Speech Zone Tour is sure to excite and provoke. Opening the concert is a very special performance by the Boston/Tucson-based saxophone and percussion duo Non Zero, performing music by Little, Hughes, DeSantis, Papavasilopolous and more.
