Phoenix Chamber Music Society co-presents a program curated by composer-in-residence and acclaimed viola soloist Nokuthula Ngwenyama. 

This annual show features contemporary composers from anything from video games and visual art to film and television. This is not a typical classical music concert; it’s a peek into the craft of working musicians today.
