From the event page on Facebook:

Swiss composer Marcel Zaes is coming to Boston with a string quartet and a solo performance for a double-concert at swissnex. Join us for a night of experimental music, with musicians Kate Outterbridge, Josie Davis, Ashley Frith and Laura Cetilia, presented in collaboration with Non-Event.

Tickets: 10$

Marcel Zaes (born 1984 in Bern, Switzerland) belongs to a generation of young Swiss composers, who combine technology-based medial approaches and instrumental music writing, thereby radically extending the concept of “composing.”

Currently pursuing his PhD in Computer Music and Multimedia at Brown University, the experimental Swiss composer will be at swissnex for a “double concerto” night on November 10, showcasing the two contrasting aspects of his oeuvre in the U.S. The String Quartet No. 1 “Isomorph” shows a rather manual ability of composing in acoustic music and is a soft, durational, minimalist position. Isomorph is inspired by electronic pure sounds and treats the quartet as if it was a synthesizer. On the contrary, with, his solo-performance “Pulse Geometries” Marcel Zaes himself enters the stage in the role of a performer and creates experimental soundscapes and beats at the intersection of old analogue apparatus and digital technology.
