So Hot Right Now
Rosette’s next So Hot Right Now series is coming up in October 2026. Join us at Artspace on Tuesday, Sept. 1st for our Composer Reveal Party to be the first to find out who’s hot.
So Hot Right Now is an innovative concert series curated and presented by Rosette, a string quartet based in Richmond, VA. The series highlights the music of one very hot, very alive composer by performing their music multiple times in a variety of venues over the course of one month.
The first So Hot Right Now series took place in October of 2021 and featured the music of Caroline Shaw. Since then, Rosette has championed the work of Kenji Bunch, John Luther Adams, TJ Cole, Jerod Impichaachaaha’ Tate, Fodé Lassana Diabaté, Anna Clyne, and Derrick Skye.
