HEAR NOW Festival 2014 Composers Announced
The HEAR NOW Festival of New Music by Contemporary Los Angeles Composers is pleased to announce the program for its fourth annual Festival, from Friday to Sunday, May 2, 3, and 4, 2014. The events take place at the Miles Playhouse in Santa Monica and the First Lutheran Church of Venice.
In a departure from last festival of two chamber music concerts, HEAR NOW has added an electro-acoustic concert in collaboration with People Inside Electronics (PIE) and extended the Saturday program.
By invitation, 120 outstanding works were submitted by sixty-one composers living and working in the Los Angeles area. After a lengthy blind review process, the review committee, headed by artistic director Hugh Levick, selected twenty-three for the three days of concerts.

We are extremely pleased to announce that LA Philharmonic Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen has become the Honorary Artistic Advisor of the HEAR NOW Festival.
