As the sole venue in New York City and one of few internationally dedicated to the presentation of multi-channel sound installation, Diapason provides a space where composers and sound artists can realize their work for an interested public. By providing an optimum listening environment, two high quality multi-channel sound systems, a regular audience, and a place for experimentation, Diapason seeks to engage composers and the public in dialogue about the place of contemporary music and sound practice in a broader cultural context.
