mycelium new music joins forces with pioneering composer-performer Pamela Z to present ways of looking. In her first Chicago show since the pandemic, Z will perform a solo set which blends voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound, and video, before joining mycelium in a performance of her piece with sextet Ways of Looking. The performance also features mycelium’s 2025 rhizome project, which showcases recent works by rising star emerging composers from around the country. These are pieces which may have received a premiere but no subsequent performances, or to which the composer may want to revise or add to, or which may not yet have a recording. As part of the rhizome project, three composers –  Sofia Jen Ouyang, Arjan Singh Dogra, and Carlos Bandera – travel to Chicago for a collaborative workshop, recording, and performance.
