mycelium new music is a Chicago-based ensemble committed to creating imaginative, multidisciplinary performances of contemporary music that showcase diverse emerging voices. mycelium collaborates with composers, performers, and artists, and curates impactful and adventurous programming in Chicago’s artistic ecosystem and beyond. 

The 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.
