The Houston New Arts Movement is an ensemble and community of musicians and artists that actively create, discuss, and promote a deeper understanding and appreciation for music and art. These efforts will foster a deeper and more widespread understanding and involvement of the audience in classical music as well as new compositions. As a community and support network for local performers, composers and artists, HNAM reaches out to new audiences with classical music where it may have been inaccessible before in innovative ways that involve those dynamic communities. Concerts are arranged to convey the idea that music is as much about the audience as the performers. HNAM supports innovation in the realm of artistic expression and seeks to re-establish the idea of composers/performers and artists as an indispensable part of our ever-changing mainstream culture.
