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. This year’s theme\, ‘AFTERIMAGE’\, traces the meaning that emerges through the resonance and reverberation of listening together. \nNight 2 of SBM 19 at the Detroit Institute of Arts opens with a very special set by Joy Guidry — bassoonist\, versatile improviser\, performance artist\, and composer of experimental\, daring new works that embody a deep love of storytelling; Joy’s music channels her inner child in honor of their ancestors and predecessors. 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
