21CMposium

A conference like no other for 21st-century thinkers, leaders and performers

Connecting like-minded artists, students, teachers, presenters, administrators and change agents, the 21CMposium expands upon the national dialogue about reimagining best practices as musicians respond to globally shifting marketplaces and cultural landscapes. An opening presentation by Greg Sandow, TED-style talks by Mike Block (Silk Road Ensemble) and Judd Greenstein (New Amsterdam Records), workshops by Decoda and Fifth House Ensemble, and a performance by the Kronos Quartet are among the experiences to be shared.

Unfolding during the symposium will be the LAUNCH: 21CM Emerging Artist Competition. The 21st-Century Musician Initiative is looking to LAUNCH the next generation of chamber ensembles who embrace the entrepreneurial mindset, bend and blend genres, connect to audiences where they live, and strengthen the communities they serve.

Join us as we explore the future of music at the 21CMposium.
