About the Festival

The OME New Music Festival is an annual event where we invite unique and adventurous ensembles, solo artists, and projects to present short sets of works by modern composers. Our definition of "modern" includes works that have been composed during the 21st and late 20th centuries. The OME Festival has historically featured its performers in an eclectic variety of venues, from traditional concert halls to art galleries, bars, and cafes.
