Support

We aim to bring you onto the stage with us, to our side of the music, and into our thinking about it. We want to be close to our audience  — the energy we share is why we love making music. 

Our dream is a full year of music every year. We want to open up classical and experimental music to give our city an un-rarified experience of our art form. An experience built around curiosity, listening, understanding, and resonance. A music practice built around the idea that joy springs from sharing.

And we need your help to make it happen!
