Fear No Music - Sunday Concert Series
FEAR NO MUSIC
Chamber Ensemble Contemporary Classical
The Fear No Music Ensemble is a collective of professional musicians dedicated to performing the chamber music of our time. With a passion for innovation and a commitment to fostering a love for live ensemble music, we push the boundaries of what classical music can be.
Since 1992, our Annual Concert Series has spotlighted important national and international developments in contemporary classical and post-classical music, while celebrating the diverse voices of Portland’s local music community and the Pacific Northwest. We’re proud to give composers from all backgrounds—national and local—an opportunity to be heard and recognized.
To date, we’ve premiered over 75 works, spotlighting composers of diverse origins, backgrounds, and genders. Our concerts go beyond traditional chamber music by collaborating with a wide range of artists, including video artists, taiko drummers, and performers of instruments such as the zheng, didgeridu, shakuhachi, theremin, and electronics.
Each performance is an opportunity to explore how chamber music can evolve and engage modern audiences. Our bold programming, high-concept collaborations, and thoughtful examinations of key social issues make our concert series one of the most exciting in the country.
