SUMMARY:New Music Detroit: Strange Beautiful Music 19 featuring Joy Guidry
DESCRIPTION:New Music Detroit (NMD) celebrates 19 years of strange and beautiful music in the Motor City.

The San Diego Tribune has hailed her performances as “lyrical and haunting…hair-raising and unsettling.” Joy was born in Houston\, Texas\, into a creative family that has shaped who she is today. \nNew Music Detroit will close out the evening with works for ensemble and electronics by Eliza Brown\, Izumi Maekawa\, Carlie Schoonees\, and a world premiere by Carolyn Yarnell. NMD core members will be joined by special guests Kris Johnson on trumpet and Magnolia Rohrer on violin. \nLearn More Here – https://dia.org/events/new-music-detroit-strange-beautiful-music-19-featuring-joy-guidry?event_date=2026-09-11
