Welcome

Directed by five composers, Musiqa is a contemporary music group that takes a fresh look at the concert experience by blending dance, poetry, theatre, film and the visual arts with the finest modern repertoire. Musiqa's programs have been recognized by awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Aaron Copland Fund and the Argosy Foundation and been featured on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."

Now in its 11th season, Musiqa has been awarded a 2010 Chamber Music America commissioning grant: Composer Sebastian Currier and poet Sarah Manguso have created a new work, Deep Sky Objects*, for soprano, piano quintet and electronics that will be premiered in September 2012.

Musiqa now has one of the largest educational programs of any contemporary music ensemble in the United States: we've performed for over 30,000 public elementary school students since 2004, and 6,000 students were served in 2011-12 alone--all at no cost to schools.
 
Musiqa's programs owe a great deal to our foundation, corporate and private sponsors and especially to the partnership with the Hobby Center, which subsidizes school bus transportation and donates many hall expenses. You can learn more about our educational offerings at our education website www.musiqaloveskids.org.
