The Austin New Music Co-op is a grass roots community organization made of up of composers and performers from the Austin area dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of experimental music. We create opportunities for performance, education, and composition of adventurous sound. The NMC advocates and presents a wide range of innovative and compelling new works and provides a unique environment for collaboration and the free exchange of musical ideas.
Since its founding, NMC has encouraged the composition and performance of dozens of new pieces by local composers through a wide range of concert presentations. They have made possible the performance of major 20th century works including Terry Riley's "In C", Cornelius Cardew's "Treatise" and Pauline Oliveros' "Four Meditations For Orchestra." Through its workshop series, NMC has exposed local musicians to established international performers such as Frode Gjerstad (Norway), John Butcher (UK), Mary Oliver (Netherlands), Olivia Block (Chicago, USA) and Pauline Oliveros (NY, USA).
