Wild Shore New Music

Founded in 2013 by Alaskan musicians Conrad Winslow, Andie Tanning, and Katie Cox, Wild Shore New Music is one of Alaska’s few organizations dedicated to contemporary chamber music. Wild Shore brings together visiting artists and Alaskans through adventurous programs that reflect the region’s cultural and natural landscape. We’ve partnered with the National Park Service, Bunnell Street Arts Center, the Anchorage Museum, and the University of Alaska Anchorage, and have presented leading new music performers while commissioning works inspired by Alaska’s people and place. Wild Shore New Music’s mission is to present adventurous contemporary chamber music in Alaska and explores how art engages with the natural world. Wild Shore incubates new collaborative music and interdisciplinary work in Alaska, celebrates the diversity of Alaska-raised and Alaska-based creators, and creates opportunities for artists from across the globe who are interested in connecting the classical music tradition with contemporary identities and broader cultural currents. Wild Shore is committed to working alongside Alaskan communities to bring awareness to our nation’s untouched land and to help preserve the North for future generations.
