The Boston New Music Initiative was thrilled to present its inaugural Living Music Summit. The summit is a series of concerts, workshops, industry roundtables, and networking events designed to promote all aspects of BNMI’s central mission of supporting and advancing the careers of its members in the field of new music. The 2023 Living Music Summit will consist of several online series, including the Composer Interview Series, the Salon Series and the Workshop Series, but will not include the larger festival at the end of the year. We hope to return with a festival in 2024. DONATE here to help us make this season's event a reality!
