New Music Circle, founded in 1959, was the creation of a group of local architects, musicians, and university composers. Completing its 64th season, New Music Circle is the longest established organization of its kind, introducing local and regional audiences to the world's most recognized and accomplished avant-garde composers and performers.
New Music Circle is a presenting organization. Each season, New Music Circle brings to St. Louis some of the finest creative and cutting-edge musicians in the world. We feature vibrant, experimental and avant-garde music with influences from jazz, electronic, and classical genres, with a commitment towards diversity in programming, audience, and outreach. We typically offer eight performances each season. Our season runs from September through May. Our venues are carefully selected to accommodate the music we present and to ensure accessibility to the concert-goers we hope to attract. In addition to our concert season, we offer numerous outreach activities, led by the presenting artists, to educate and enrich the lives of music aficionados and local artists and musicians, as well as reaching students of all ages and the general public who may otherwise have limited exposure to style of music we present.
New Music Circle is dedicated to the creation and performance of improvisational and experimental music by renowned musicians from around the world, through whom we enrich and expand the cultural life of the St. Louis metropolitan region. Included in our mission is a commitment to community engagement through outreach and education that stimulates awareness, understanding, participation, and interest in music being created today.
