Discover the sound of new classical music at Livewire, a festival assured to stretch your ears and mind with bold compositions from the 21st Century, from striking to experimental to edgy. In dozens of concerts, lecture-recitals and presentations, the musicians of Livewire will explore untrodden paths as they premiere, perform and discuss new works from around the world created during the first decade of the new millennium, a period of both political and economic upheaval.

Join us throughout the Livewire festival for performances by the Ruckus ensemble, the Damocles Trio, the Hoffmann/Goldstein Duo, the Synchronous Trio, UMBC faculty Matthew Belzer, Lisa Cella, Tom Goldstein, Gita Ladd, Maria Lambros, E. Michael Richards and Airi Yoshioka, and many other eminent ensembles and soloists.
