During the Holiday Season more than ever, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who make our music possible. Thank you and best wishes for the Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

newEar is on the VERGE and on the RISE! Halfway through our 19th season, we are extremely excited about what we are planning for our 20th season. Make your programming suggestions December 31st.

Our next concert, Worlds Apart, features works by Kansas City composers Ingrid Stölzel and Nicholas S. Omiccioli, Lansing D. McLoskey winner of the inaugural newEar Composers Competition, as well as works by Andrew Norman, Krysztof Penderecki and George Tsontakis.  Join us for this journey through captivating and inspiring music on February 11, 2012 at All Souls Unitarian Universality Church.

Looking to engage in a stimulating conversation about music? Attend our book club, Reading with new Ears on February 8, 2012 at the Writers Place to discuss Kyle Gann's book No Such Thing as Silence: John Cage's 4'33".

Third Annual Composers' Competition deadline for submissions is February 15, 2012

Please consider newEar when giving. There is no better way to show your support for progressive musical artistry in Kansas City than to offer a tax-deductible donation to the newEar contemporary chamber ensemble, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Your gift in any denomination enables newEar to remain an internationally recognized vanguard of contemporary chamber music.
