WHO&WHAT

Pique Collective is a quintet of modern musicians striving to Be More in B'More by bringing together local artists, craft brews n' eats, and lively concerts of new and recent musical compositions.  As an ensemble, Pique  performs contemporary and modern music in an exciting and fresh way, offering alternatives to the standard concert music venue.  As locals, we aim to involve crafters, brewers, and artists of all stripes in our concerts, so that we can help grow culture and positivity within our community.  Pique Collective are your local besties when it comes to uncommon experiences in art music, and as part of a lively family of modern and post-modern musicians in Baltimore, we love contributing with shows that

think outside the bar, but keep great time!

FRESH STUFF

 

bayou-borne, for Pauline by Annea Lockwood, is a graphic score for six performers composed in 2016. Pique performed the piece in 2017 and subsequently recorded a live performance in October of 2024. The score asks the musicians to move through the performance space following the path of six bayous converging on Houston.

Fresh

A Distinct Experience

Pique Collective performances are always live—and they always feature classical, modern, contemporary art music from the vast literature of existing and newly created works.  Prior shows have been at places like pop-up venues, darkened underground meditation lounges, in warehouse art studios, and at Artscape in Baltimore, MD

Local

A Hint of Hon'

Pique is proud to pursue affiliations with local artists of all mediums, including sculptors, painters, brewers, dancers, and craft artisans—and we aim to share our love for the locals by providing great local additions (and beverages) at our concerts whenever possible!

Nonoka Mizukami, born in Fukui Japan, is an internationally active marimbist and percussionist who has received acclaim for her solo, chamber, orchestral, and concerto interpreting.  She is professionally committed to performing contemporary music and recording projects with young composers, in addition to her solo marimba performances and her chamber and orchestral engagements both in Japan and the United States.  In 2017 Nonoka founded duet project Cellimba alongside cellist Peter Kibbe.  Cellimba has performed many contemporary works, including "Furtive Movements" by Ted Hearne, and the duet is currently working on commissions and collaborations to fill out the repertoire for their ensemble.  Nonoka enjoys making crashing percussion noises just as much as she loves the warm wooden sound of the marimba, and is always looking for more new sounds to make.
