Announcing Mycelium New Music's 25/26 Crowdfunding Campaign

In our 25/26 season “deep roots, wild sounds,” mycelium new music invites you into a living musical network. With 3 performances across the city of Chicago, we continue our mission of creating imaginative, multidisciplinary performances of contemporary music.

But we can’t put on this exciting season without your support. We are crowdfunding with the goal of raising $5000 between September 1st and September 14th, 2025, and we hope you'll consider making a tax-deductible donation. Thanks to the support of our fiscal sponsor, International Foundation for Contemporary Music, 100% of your donation will go directly to supporting the costs of our performances: payment for artists, documentation of our work, airfare for guest artists and composers, and more.

a show with the pioneering composer-performer Pamela Z
our rhizome project, featuring three rising star composers from around the country
a program exploring connections between folk traditions and contemporary classical music
the inaugural performance of our s.p.o.r.e. chamber music series
collaborations with guest artists including soprano Kristina Bachrach and yangqin player Cheng Jin Koh.

Our ensemble takes its name from the mycelial network, the underground web of fungi that symbiotically connects an entire forest. mycelium new music cultivates connection, curiosity, and a shared musical ecology that thrives underground and bursts into light. We're so excited to bring all of these projects and pieces to life, and we hope you'll consider supporting us.
