Becker Cafe: Stucky New Music Ensemble

Ever wondered if music can be communicated without traditional sheet music? Join Dal Niente, Cornell's Stucky Ensemble in Residence, for an interactive workshop that explores creative and unexpected ways of making music. Through live performance, projected images, words, and visual prompts, you'll see how musicians can collaborate, improvise, and tell stories without using conventional musical notation. No musical background is required. Just bring your curiosity and be ready to experience music in a whole new way.

Dal Niente is dedicated to performing, developing, and championing innovative contemporary music, presenting works that range from intimate chamber pieces to large-scale experimental performances. Committed to fostering meaningful connections among composers, performers, and audiences, the ensemble elevates bold artistic voices while engaging communities in Chicago and around the world.

Dal Niente explores an exceptionally wide spectrum of contemporary repertoire. Over the years, audiences have experienced everything from fully staged operas and multimedia productions to intimate solo performances, reflecting a commitment to creating imaginative, immersive encounters with art and culture.
