No Exit May 2025: The International Sounds of The Collective

No Exit brings their 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.

The concert will feature works by Agata Zubel, Mathew Rosenblum, Douglas Knehans, Spiros Mazis, Amy Kaplan, Constantine Koukias, Edward Smalldone and Timothy Beyer.
