The Cleveland Museum of Art welcomes No Exit New Music Ensemble, one of the region’s leading outlets for the commissioning and performance of contemporary avant-garde concert music, back to the museum for an encore presentation.

This evening, No Exit brings its 2024–25 season to a close with a presentation of music from the Collective—an international consortium of composers who represent some of the most individual and poetic voices in new music today. This eclectic program is premiering in Cleveland before being performed throughout Europe.
