Music = is a new music organization directed by Inhyun Kim and Matthew Hough. Our mission is to give voice to new and lesser-known works, particularly those incorporating extramusical elements such as video, poetry, dance or theater. By breaking down the boundaries between music, art, and social/political issues, Music = aims to redefine what music can be, and what it can do. We are currently awaiting recognition as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.


Music = was created in 2007 by composers Inhyun Kim and Matthew Hough. As of 2010, Music = has produced numerous concerts in music halls, galleries and alternative performance spaces in and around New York City. In our first three seasons, we have presented music by Morton Feldman, Peter Ablinger, Carolyn Chen, Reiko Fueting, John Cage, Tyler Harrison, Vincent Persichetti, Earle Brown, Christian Wolff, and Milton Babbitt, as well as world premieres of works by Ronen Shai, Ippei Inoue, Matthew Hough, Inhyun Kim, Matthew Humphrey, and Ya-Jhu Yang.
