Society for New Music

Society for New Music is a performing arts organization in Syracuse devoted to contemporary music. It has no concert hall of its own: the group operates out of board members’ homes and offices and takes its performances to public venues, so each concert can land in a different room.

Concerts and rehearsals both happen in public spaces, so audiences meet the music in settings that change from one program to the next. For listeners curious about what living composers are writing now, it offers a way in.
