rhizome project

s.p.o.r.e. series

mycelium new music's annual rhizome project showcases works by rising star emerging composers which have received a premiere, but have not yet gone on to have a full life. These are pieces which may have received a premiere but no subsequent performances, or to which the composer may want to revise or add to, or which may not yet have a recording. Through the rhizome project, three emerging composers each year receive a fully funded trip to Chicago for a collaborative workshop, recording, and performance with mycelium new music. 

Past rhizome composers include:
​
2025
Sofia Jen Ouyang
Carlos Bandera
Arjan Singh Dogra

2024
Christian Quinones
Grace Ann Lee
Seare Farhat
