For the past decade, flutist, composer, and band leader Elsa Nilsson has explored unlikely connections among tendencies of human nature, contradiction and pluralism, and the natural world. A conceptualist from every angle, the Gothenburg native settled in Brooklyn in 2010. She’s the 2018 winner of the National Flute Association’s Jazz Flute Competition, and the recipient of multiple Chamber Music America grants, including the 2022 New Jazz Works. The New York City based "Band Of Pulses" is Nilsson's working band and will be performing music from their upcoming release "Liminal", exploring the mechanisms of the liminal states we move through as our lives change. They will also be sharing music off of Nilsson’s project "Atlas Of Sound", an ongoing series that explores humanity's relationship to place by writing music in specific locations.
