Vox Novus Information

Vox Novus promotes contemporary music through performances, recordings, publications, and broadcasts. Vox Novus believes strongly in the intrinsic value of contemporary music, recognizing it as a force in the advancement of culture. The goal is to strengthen the connection between composer and audience, providing greater exposure to new music. Vox Novus understands that without the creation of challenging, contemporary music there will be no future masterpieces to reflect our time. Exciting new music is being composed constantly, and must be heard in order to complete the cycle of creativity. Vox Novus gets contemporary music heard: in live performances, television and radio broadcasts, compact discs, and over the Internet. Vox Novus develops, produces, and promotes opportunities for composers. These opportunities come in the form of the projects housed by Vox Novus such as 60x60, Composer's Voice, and Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame, expanding the audience for new music beyond the established music community. Vox Novus projects aim to build a new repertoire by creating "friendly" listening environments that integrate a growing body of contemporary composers. Programming is repeated to foster familiarity with this repertoire. Vox Novus promotes and produces contemporary music using repeatable methods and models that composers can take and use on their own. This way contemporary music can reach an ever wider audience thereby continuing the advancement of culture and art.
