Our goal is to develop a positive relationship between today's audiences and music of our time, through imaginative, diverse programming. NMW's annual concert series offers works by living composers in a variety of media, emphasizing music by Santa Cruz area composers, producing original music/theater works, while also including masterworks of the 20th and 21st centuries. | ||

In an effort to encourage young composers, New Music Works inaugurated Sound Horizons in 1997. This annual performance of compositions by students enrolled in regional colleges and universities has, since 2001, adopted a competition format and now includes a cash prize awarded to the winning entry. | ||
