To Foster, Develop and Engage in the Arts Community


EMERGE provides meaningful contemporary arts programming that couples the visual and performing arts with social, historical, and cultural contexts. 

Featuring local and world renowned composers, we cultivate impactful experiences that challenges audiences and connects the musically curious. Our diverse musical palette produces a variety of interactive and engaging experiences that will appeal to a wide variety of communities. 

EMERGE dedicates itself to the advancement of the arts through community outreach initiatives and grade-school workshops aimed to cultivate passion for the arts to its future generations. Furthermore, our organization’s collegiate residency model - EMERGE New Music Readings - fosters budding composers to help expand their knowledge and build confidence, equipping them for a professional career.

“EMERGE is unique in its ability to build a sense of community and enthusiasm around new music.”
