Updated July 28, 2026.
Night After Night Watch rounds up details about upcoming performances of interest to the new-music community: contemporary classical music and jazz, electronic and electroacoustic music, and idioms for which no clever genre name has been coined.
Events are culled from press releases, venue websites, social-media posts, and other online resources, and details are subject to change; follow links to the original sources before heading out to a show. All concerts are listed in Eastern Standard Time.
These listings are not comprehensive—nor could they be! To submit a forthcoming event for consideration, email information to nightafternight@icloud.com.
All opinions expressed herein are solely my own, and do not express the views of any employer.
