    NoExit New Music Ensemble from left to right; James Praznik, James Rhodes, Luke Rinderknecht, Eric Gonzalez, Timothy Beyer, Nicholas Underhill, Sean Gabriel, Nick Diodore and Cara Tweed. Since it’s inception, the idea behind NoExit has been to serve as an outlet for the commission and performance of contemporary avant-garde concert music. Now in our eighth season and with well over sixty commissions to date, NoExit is going strong in our efforts to promote the music of living composers and to be an impetus for the creation of new works. We have strived to create exciting, meaningful and thought-provoking programs; always with the philosophy of bringing the concert hall to the community (not the other way around) and by presenting our programs in a manner which allows for our audience to really connect with the experience......... free and open to the public in every sense. For NoExit’s 2016-2017 concert season we’ve expanded our programming to include more than twice the number of concerts than in previous years! We will continue to participate in the NeoSonicFest and produce our successful series of exchange concerts with the St.Paul, Minnesota based new music ensemble Zeitgeist, who we will be performing with in Cleveland this January. And of course, unveiled before your very eyes, more newly commissioned pieces will see their world premiere this season than you can shake a stick at. NoExit is grateful to have such an enthusiastic and engaged audience. We have so many extraordinary things in store for you, so keep listening! Thank you for your support.
