Welcome to Other Minds. We are a global New Music community where composers, students, and listeners discover and learn about innovative music by composers from all over the world. Other Minds is a private not-for-profit organization (501(c)(3) based in San Francisco.
When American composer John Cage died in the summer of 1992, the New Yorker ran an unattributed obituary: "His epitaph might read that he composed music in other peoples' minds." Reading this, Jim Newman suggested "Other Minds" as the name of the major international music festival that he was about to launch in San Francisco, with Charles Amirkhanian as Artistic Director.
What started as a composers' retreat and New Music festival has grown to include a concert series, a record label , a radio show and a radio archive featuring interviews with many composers and recorded performances.
See our website for our many exciting projects. We strive to bring wonderful new and innovative music to audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area and worldwide via the internet.
