New Music Collective

The NMC, along with Yes is a World , is proud to announce the release of the Katrina Ballads recording. New Amsterdam Records will be releasing a high-quality digital download on Friday, August 29th, to coincide with the 3rd anniversary of the storm's landfall. Recorded at Avatar Studios in NYC in March 2008, produced by Lawson White and engineered by Todd Whitelock, the record sounds truly wonderful, and we're very excited to share it with you. On August 31st, the NMC will host a Listening and Release Party at a TBD location in Charleston. It'll be free, and will give you a chance hear the recording in the company of other supporters!

Our Fall 2008 Season is looking to be one of our best yet. Silent Films on Sept. 18, Silent Music on the first Sunday of the Month from October to December, another installment of New Music New Charleston, and the 3rd annual Unsilent Night on December!

Incredibly sparse at times, rarely above a whisper, these concerts will offer a new window into modern composition, as well as a unique concert experience in which to reflect, and perhaps even meditate on the place where silence and music meet.
