Noise-to-Signal Ensemble Call for Scores 2016

The Noise-to-Signal Ensemble is excited to announce its first call for scores! N2SE is a contemporary music collective dedicated to making new music accessible to non-musicians and music aficionados alike. We are particularly dedicated to outreach and have presented concerts and master classes at several universities and high schools across the Midwest.
