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.
-
Chamber Orchestra
Core Ensemble (10 + Musicians)
Made up of our Core Musicians, the ATLCMC Chamber Orchestra (or ATLCMCCO) is our main ensemble. It’s a one-on-a-part chamber orchestra or sinfonietta, so 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.
4: 1, 2, or 3
Composer Christian Wolff is maybe the most famous and important contemporary composer you've probably never heard of. Our first concert of the season is a celebration of one of his most famous works “For 1, 2 or 3 People”. Three different sets of instrumental families will perform the work as a solo, a duo, and as a trio - with other newer works filling out the program.
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.
Reflect/Refract
Our first chamber orchestra concert of the season highlights music that both reflects and refracts the current moment back at us.
Call for Scores
Composers from around the world submitted works to our Call for Scores. The only prerequisite for submission was some sort of connection to the state of Georgia - whether you were born and raised here, or just going to school here, or maybe you spent a week here on a camping trip when you were young - there just had to be some connection to Georgia. We wanted these works to connect with our community, so that there would be some sort of shared point of entry - and whether or not the works are explicitly about Georgia, having a local connection is the best way to meet people where they are.
Music (As/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.
