Upcoming Events

Philadelphia artist and photojournalist Ryan Collerd has been documenting Ars Nova Workshop performances for a decade. Please join us for the closing reception of his Ars Nova-specific exhibition.

Please join us for the Philadelphia premiere of In Our Veins: Rivers and Social Change, the new multimedia work by drummer and composer Allison Miller teaming her all-star ensemble Boom Tic Boom with acclaimed tap dancer Claudia Rahardjanoto.

Please join us for a scintillating performance by inventive trumpeter Marquis Hill and his soulful new project Love Tape.

Ars Nova Workshop is thrilled to present the return of guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer Jeff Parker with his eclectic and autobiographical ensemble The New Breed.

Please join us for a performance by Sun of Goldfinger, an exploratory trio featuring three Ars Nova Workshop favorites: guitarist David Torn, saxophonist Tim Berne, and percussionist Ches Smith.

Please join us for a very special double bill featuring two uncategorizable ensembles: Joshua Abrams’ Natural Information Society and Xylouris White.

Please join us for a performance by the explosive trio mssv (Main Steam Stop Valve) led by guitarist Mike Baggetta, teaming him with drummer Stephen Hodges and punk legend Mike Watt for a window-rattling obliteration of the walls between jazz and rock. This performance marks the record release celebration for “Live Flowers” (Striped Light Records), which documents last year’s legendary Ars Nova-produced performance at Johnny Brenda’s. 

Please join us for a very special evening of unique solo performances from guitarist Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), violinist Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt. Zion), and tenor saxophonist Travis LaPlante (Battle Trance).
