New Music in the Gallery is an innovative CCF program featuring music by CCF members performed by cutting edge ensembles from the Chicago area. The purpose of the series is to provide a context for pieces by CCF members by presenting them as a season along with works by nationally and internationally recognized composers performed in a comfortable gallery setting. Concerts take place at galleries throughout the Chicago area with the goal of building audiences and support for new music.

In the 2008-2009 Season Chicago Composers Forum will present four concerts in four galleries with performances by four ensembles including choral chamber and percussion ensembles. Deadline for submission to all four concerts is July 15. See below for more details and click on the link for complete information and submission form.
