DownEast New Music is an organization dedicated to bringing dynamic performances of chamber music by living composers to DownEast Maine. DownEast New Music celebrates the exciting and diverse body of music by young American composers.

Community is built around the WORLD PREMIERE of Waldoboro-based composer/pianist Conrad Winslow’s (Homer, AK, b. 1985) new work Made from Stony Ground (2024), written for sextet of clarinet, cimbalom, piano, violin, cello, and double bass. Winslow uses monophonic textures and brings disparate voices together into near unison, reflecting new civic possibilities and the ways communities come together. As we listen to the various lines converging, we are inspired to think about what it means for diverging ideas and voices to join and become a singular whole.

Faculty Chamber Music Recital: Andrew Staupe and friends


Join us for an evening of Indonesian Gamelan with Houston’s Gamelan of the New Moon, paired with Debussy’s String Quartet in G minor, featuring members of the Symphony.
Gamelan is a centuries-old traditional Indonesian form of music, primarily made up of percussion instruments such as gongs, xylophones, and hand-played drums
Debussy saw a Gamelan performance at the 1889 World’s Fair and was enthralled by it. He was inspired to incorporate elements of Gamelan in his String Quartet, which you’ll hear performed by the Symphony’s MuChen Hsieh, Tong Yan, Samuel Pedersen, and Louis-Marie Fardet
Following the performance, Gamelan of the New Moon will host a Gamelan Petting Zoo, where you can try the instruments!
