SoundNOW is thrilled to once again proudly present the very best in classical contemporary music as performed by Atlanta’s premiere new music ensembles. From January 24 - February 1, 2026, Atlanta audiences will once again have an opportunity to experience an incredible week of contemporary music as many of Atlanta’s best new music ensembles come together for a dynamic showcase of the city's vibrant new music scene!
This year, we’re excited to present four ensembles making their SoudNOW debuts: the Atlanta Contemporary Music Collective, Ayres & Graces, the Hera Trio, and the Kruziki + Toulouse Duo! They will be joining our returning groups: the Atlanta Contemporary Ensemble, Bent Frequency, Chamber Cartel, Majid Araim, the Petrasek Duo, neoPhonia New Music Ensemble, the Scibelli Duo, smol ensemble, and Terminus Ensemble!
It will be another full week of wildly eclectic musical styles and chamber experiences performed by some of the finest musicians in the United States!
We look forward to once again supporting contemporary classical music and the artists that create and bring it to life!
