Wild Shore New Music History

Wild Shore New Music is one of Alaska's few organizations dedicated to contemporary chamber music. Founded in 2012 by three Alaska-raised musicians, Wild Shore fosters collaborations between living composers, musicians worldwide, and Alaska's creative artists and residents. Wild Shore presents concerts, lecture recitals, and educational workshops across Alaska. Over the past ten seasons, Wild Shore has featured members of Eighth Blackbird, Bang on a Can All-Stars, and Mivos Quartet; collaborated with Alaskan musicians, poets, and visual artists; and co-presented events with the National Park Service, Bunnell Street Arts Center, the Anchorage Museum, University of Alaska Anchorage, and the Alaska Lieutenant Governor’s office. Each season is built upon a diverse program of contemporary composers or features a specific composer and/or commission.
