Center for New Music

Center for New Music A gathering space for the new music community in San Francisco.

The Center for New Music fosters contemporary music’s growth by giving practicing artists access to professional resources and expertise, and by providing them with opportunities for sharing knowledge and exploring new ideas. The Center currently serves the practitioners of creative, non-commercial music by providing the resources they need, including space to work, rehearse, and perform, access t

o a like-minded community, and access to media resources. Through these services, the Center seeks to support and build the community of new music to encourage its efficiency, growth, integration, and excellence. The Center acts as a steward for our community, including but not limited to composers, performers, producers, presenters, teachers, students, listeners, scholars, advocates, engineers, curators, collaborators, critics, and organizers. By valuing diversity and inclusion, fair treatment of members, fair payment of participating artists, and advocacy for the growth and integration of our community, the Center will provide a platform for communication, collaboration, outreach, program development, incubation of new artists, engagement of new listeners, and increased activity for the business of new music.

Join us Thursday night as composer/performer Neil Rolnick plays pieces from his upcoming album "Messages" which will be released on the Neuma label later this year! The highly personal pieces include a recounting of his loss of hearing in his left ear, and a tribute to his late wife, built from her recovered phone messages. With his music, Rolnick delivers a message that persistence and a positive approach to life's inevitable challenges sees us through tough times.
