Discovery

 Bringing the music we’ve discovered BACK to Chicago

Did you ever see ~Nois post about something super cool they were doing on the road and wish that you could experience that without following us around in a private jet? Well we have great news for you.

Every Spring, ~Nois brings the fruits of a full year of making music back to the city, showcasing exceptional new music from the comfort of your own neighborhood!

DePaul University’s Murray and Michele Allen Recital Hall at the Holtschneider Performance Center

DISCOVERY just got even BIGGER.

~Nois brings world premieres by internationally acclaimed Nico Muhly and 2024 Chicagoan of the Year Shawn Okpebholo, along with a world premiere of a new version of Jessie Montgomery’s Break Away and Marc Mellits’s ever grooving Tapas.

DISCOVERY also features the world premieres of our annual Young Creative Fellows, who are Chicago-area creatives and composers that collaborate with the ensemble on new works of their own! Learn more about the Fellowship here.
