For the past seven years, Intersection has been a wellspring of innovative and compelling new music performances in Nashville. Even as the notion of ensemble concerts grew increasingly improbable as the pandemic took hold, the contemporary classical outfit embraced the challenge and embarked on an ambitious program set to run over a span of more than two years. Listen matches 25 composers with 25 of Intersection’s musicians to achieve a singular goal: expand the repertoire of music by female-identifying, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming composers. Each pair produces a new work and a performance video along with an educational curriculum designed for young audiences — all of which is made available entirely free of charge on Intersection’s website.
