New Music Mondays

Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) and Bang & Olufsen (B&O) are partnering for New Music Mondays, a series of intimate listening sessions for Asian/Asian-American musicians to mix, mingle, and listen to their own music on state-of-the-art speakers by Bang & Olufsen in their SoHo listening room.

Please read carefully before applying.

The listening session is a private event. There are slots for up to 5 artists (with plus ones). Each artist will have up to 15 minutes to play their track(s) in community with the small group. The audio files will be collected ahead of time. We encourage artists to bring their works-in-progress to hear how their tracks translate in a different environment and enjoy the fruits of their hard work in a relaxing setting with other artists.

The deadline to apply is usually two weeks prior to the event. A4 will select 5 artists and reach out with next steps.
