Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival

The Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) is a 3-week musical utopia for innovative composers and performers in the beautiful Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts dedicated entirely to adventurous contemporary music.

This joyful, collaborative program includes daily rehearsals and seminars, performances in the museum galleries, world music and improvisation workshops, technology and music entrepreneurship seminars, and concerts and events in the community. The Bang on a Can Summer Festival has been described as “utterly transformative” and “life-changing,” and it’s a place where musicians generate powerful connections with new life-long collaborators, friends, and colleagues.

The residency culminates in a world-class 3-day festival called LOUD Weekend including high octane performances by festival ensembles and world premieres by the festival composers! It also features many special guest luminaries of experimental music converging to create an eclectic supermix of over 30 concerts in 3 days, taking over every space in and around the museum.

The faculty members are some of the most innovative musicians of our time. These are musicians who have dedicated their lives to commissioning, rehearsing, recording and performing music beyond the cutting edge.
