About the Festival

Since 2012, Fresh Inc has helped performers, composers, and pre-formed ensembles to envision and launch their own authentic careers in music, rooted in adventurous genre-defying collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and meaningful partnerships with audiences and community.

This year, we re-imagined the festival as a digitally-connected experience! Learn more about what we created together this summer.

"I’ve gained so much from this festival! Great friends, great performances, and great wisdom! I think many of us will look back at our musical careers and say, 'It started at Fresh Inc.'"

"Our coaching session with Fifth House Ensemble was enlightening and refreshingly informative; from developing a strong stage presence to creative musical suggestions, Fifth House Ensemble’s educational offerings have literally changed the way we think about artistic performance. Even more enthralling than their superb musical presentations are their immediately likable personalities. The members of 5HE offered meaningful and innovative suggestions that we have taken to heart in our own creative endeavors; our coaching session with Fifth House Ensemble was one of the highlights of our year."

"Fresh Inc seeks to teach young instrumentalists and composers the realities of creating art in today’s cultural climate. While many educational institutions are dismissive of teaching such skills are budgeting, tax, filing, programming, and fundraising the members of the Fifth House Ensemble view these skills as a necessary complement to artistic excellence. As a result of attending fresh inc, I feel better equipped in my quest to be a 21st century musician."

Featured Ensemble: invoke

Winners, M-Prize Senior Open Division

New Music/New Places Ensemble, Concert Artists Guild

Described by one pretty important radio guy as “not classical…but not not classical,” invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The band encompasses traditions from across America, including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism to create truly contemporary repertoire, written by and for the group.
