Programs included as a part of the initiative are the Mizzou New Music Ensemble, the Mizzou International Composers Festival, the Sinquefield Composition Prize Commission, the Creating Original Music Project, and the Missouri Composers Project. Additionally, the Mizzou New Music Initiative is pleased to partner with The Sheldon to commission a series of new classical works to be performed at The Sheldon in St. Louis each season.

The Initiative and partnership with The Sheldon is the direct result of the generous support of Dr. Jeanne and Mr. Rex Sinquefield, and the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation. The Sinquefields’ vision is to create an incubator for the composition and performance of new music, and to position Missouri as a major center for the music of tomorrow.
