Joy and Resistance @ Doris Duke Center — July 21, 2025

On July 21, 2025, the Doris Duke Foundation hosted an important press and media listening event at the Doris Duke Center in Manhattan, celebrating Joy and Resistance, the visionary project led by GRAMMY-winning drummer, composer, and producer Terri Lyne Carrington together with GRAMMY-nominated harpist Brandee Younger - both recipients of the Doris Duke Foundation award celebrating innovation and risk-taking performing artists

At Brandee Younger’s personal request, Treble Clef Audio was entrusted with providing the sound for this event. Our TCA-M Active Loudspeakers carried the music into the room with lifelike presence, creating a listening environment where journalists, cultural leaders, and invited guests could experience the work as the artists intended.

For us, it was an extraordinary honour to be selected and trusted with this responsibility. To serve artists of this stature — in collaboration with the Doris Duke Foundation — reaffirmed our mission to create instruments of sound that honor both artistry and audience.

The playlist from the evening can be enjoyed here via Qubuz Streaming.

"Huge thanks to the Doris Duke Foundation for making space for this moment, and to @trebleclefaudio for that incredible sound — it truly felt like we were inside the records!"

Though sitting off-axis to one side of the SRO event space, the sound was punchy, dynamic, and forthright. The TCA-Ms easily switched between the music’s varied sonic menu, remaining true and resolute throughout.

Prelude at Carl Hansen & Søn Flagship Store — May 19, 2025

Just two months earlier, on May 19, 2025, Treble Clef Audio collaborated with Carl Hansen & Søn at their Midtown Manhattan flagship store for an evening that blended music, design, and craftsmanship. GRAMMY-nominated harpist Brandee Younger and celebrated bassist Rashaan Carter transformed the space into an intimate concert hall, performing live and guiding guests through a pre-release listening session of Gadabout Season (Impulse) on the TCA-M Active Loudspeakers.

Together, these two events — Carl Hansen & Søn’s celebration of artistry and design in May, and the Doris Duke Foundation’s cultural dialogue through Joy and Resistance in July — illustrate how the TCA-M Active Loudspeakers can move fluidly between worlds of art, activism, and design. Each occasion reaffirmed that our role is not only to reproduce sound, but to create an experience that feels alive, truthful, and deeply human.
