Our 2025-2026 Season
Learn about our events, and get to know what kinds of shows we produce in our season
-
Salon Concerts
Small Group (10 > Musicians)
These are our solo and small ensemble concerts. Salons are often curated around a particular theme, or the curation is led by a Collective member - and these shows are often a little more intimate than our larger shows.
-
Orchestra
Core Ensemble (10 + Musicians)
Made up of our Core Musicians, the Collective Orchestra is our premiere ensemble. It’s a one-on-a-part chamber orchestra or sinfonietta, where every musician is a principal player. Conducted by ATLCMC Music Director, Dr. Bryan Wysocki.

Collaborations
Large Ensemble (Varying Sizes)
Often open to the wider public, Collaboration events are your chance to join the Collective for a performance. Often our Season Finale concerts, these are much more informal concert events that are meant to bring the most amount of people into the world of contemporary music.
Ocarina Festival
No instrument is ever just a novelty, so we collaborated with Georgia-based Ocarinists to present a concert of new works for ocarina, ocarina ensembles, and mixed chamber ensembles including ocarinas by Collective composers.
Friday, October 17th
7:30pm @ Freeside Atlanta
Reflect/Refract
How can orchestra stay “relevant” in the current sociopolitical climate? We explore new orchestral repertoire by living composers that push the boundary of sound, improvisation, relevance, and theatre.
Saturday, November 8th
7:30pm @ Oak Grove UMC
Call for Scores
After running an international Call for Scores with the theme of exploring composers’ ties to the state of Georgia, we present a concert of chamber music from the selected composers.
Tuesday, December 9th
7:30 @ Eyedrum
Music In Space & Time
All music was at some point new - as was the function of that music in its society. We pair old works from the pre-Renaissance with newly commissioned works for percussion quartet by Akari Komura and Dan Maguire to highlight the lineage these works share.
Beautiful Kingdoms
Our first Chamber Orchestra concert of 2026 includes music Nickitas Demos and Juri Seo. Guest soloist: Clare Longendyke, piano
Microvariations
By looking at something in detail, we can see the details hidden in plain sight. We do that on this Chamber Orchestra concert by examining Sky Macklay’s “Microvariations” and by looking at multiple pieces by Andrew Rodriguez, including the world premiere of his new Guitar Concerto for Jamie Monck.
Outside the Lines
While Atlanta celebrates Pride Month in October, our June season finale concert celebrates composers who are (and were) actively and proudly queer.
4: 1, 2, or 3
World premieres of new works by Collective and guest composers for solo, duo, and trio combinations, each celebrating Christian Wolff’s piece “For 1, 2, or 3 People”
Sunday, September 7th
4:00pm @ The Supermarket
