About

Nevermind the Noise, the graduate student composers' collective at NYU, hires a professional chamber ensemble each academic year that is active in the contemporary music scene to workshop, rehearse, and premiere student composers' pieces at its Spring Concert. This residency is an invaluable part of the program, providing opportunities for young composers to receive feedback from experienced musicians, forge professional connections that will advance their careers, and give their art back to the community.

We are thrilled to announce our ensemble-in-residence this year: Hub New Music! See a bit about them below:

Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a “prime mover of piping hot 21st century repertoire” (Washington Post). Founded in 2013, the Detroit-based ensemble has commissioned dozens of new works for its distinctive ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. Hub’s “nimble quartet of winds and strings” (NPR) actively collaborates with today’s most celebrated composers on projects that traverse today’s rich musical landscape.

All donations will go towards paying the ensemble's honorarium. The concert is scheduled for Sunday, May 3, 2026, and will be free and open to the public.

Please join us in funding the NVMTN 2025-2026 season’s Spring Concert, as an investment in the changemakers of contemporary classical music!
