NMC Mission
Established in 2005, New Music Chicago includes 18 ensembles performing recent and new music, sometimes commissioning new pieces.

The goal of New Music Chicago is to expand the audience for contemporary art music and foster more opportunities for its performance.

New Music Chicago works to bring together Chicago's many organizations involved in contemporary art music to share program information and coordinate schedules, and twice a year produces a calendar where performances by all member ensembles can be seen on one page. This information is also available instantly on our online calendar.

Membership in New Music Chicago is open to qualified performing ensembles and educational organizations, composers and interested individuals. For more information, please contact NMC's secretary Crystal Hendrick-Ketzer at secretary [at] newmusicchicago.org.
