The Argento New Music Project produces concerts, recordings, and educational material, all with the aim of enriching the lives of our listeners. Thanks to recent generations of composers, life can be deeper, more adventurous, more thoughtful, more creative.

The members of Argento work incessantly to find the most relevant and provocative new works and perform them at the very highest level for the widest possible audience.
