Welcome to our seventeenth season!
We have something for everyone this year, including collaborations in both dance and film, as well as some of the most innovative music you can imagine.
We begin the season with a free concert as part of a weekend festival in honor of Olivier Messiaen's hundredth birthday. Following up on that in November, FNM founder Jeff Payne will perform the complete Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-J?sus by Messiaen, one of the towering piano masterworks of the twentieth century.
Oregon will celebrate its 150th anniversary of statehood on February 14, 2009, and we will join the celebration in our own inimitable way. A concert of uniquely Oregon composers will begin in Portland and then tour the state, involving a collaboration with the Agnieszka Laska Dancers, and with Gavin Larsen, a principal dancer for the Oregon Ballet Theater.
In April we present Parallaxis: Music and Moving Pictures. Curated by Leo and Anna Daedalus of Helsinqi media studio, this will be a live concert of 20th/21st-century classical music performed with accompanying video — silent-movie style.
The season finale will be Hearing the Future , the culmination of the year's Young Composer's Project, when we'll get to hear the exciting premieres of works by the talented participants in this award-winning program.
You won't want to miss a single concert! And we hope that you'll bring your friends, so that we can spread the word about this music that we love.
We thank our sponsors for believing in the FNM mission, and we thank you, fearless supporters and volunteers, lovers of new music, for your loyalty. Seventeen seasons couldn't have happened without you!
"...it would be hard to top a concert by a group that lives to its name -
Fear No Music...one of the most unusual programs of the year..."
The Oregonian
Fear No Music can be heard on “The Bridge, Vol I” (released by the Regional
Arts and Culture Council) and performing music of Shaun Naidoo on “Electric Fences.”
"...they provide a refuge from conventional rules and a chance to listen
with a fresh and youthful ear."
