About ACM

Accessible Contemporary Music is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, IL. It is our artistic mission to promote the performance and understanding of contemporary music, especially the music of living composers. We have as our target audience both those already acquainted with contemporary music and those who may not even realize that there are people still composing concert music today.

It is our goal to cater to the former without excluding the latter.

In pursuance of this goal we take a very direct approach to concert giving, frequently including pre-concert talks and discussion sessions between the audience and the composer. Every concert that we give includes a World Premiere or at least one piece, if not several pieces, by composers in the early stages of their careers.
