Juventas New Music Ensemble announces its 2023-24 mainstage season Visions of Green: a series of five programs reflecting on how we engage with our planet from inspiration to conservation. This ambitious lineup is fueled by a diverse set of composers highlighting Juventas’s mission-driven focus on emerging voices. This season features the music of 36 living composers, of which 22 identify as female or gender-nonbinary and 14 as BIPOC composers.

The season begins on September 23 with Song in Flight, an homage to the wonders of avian life. It continues November 11 with Encore!, a program of nature-inspired audience favorites, part of the ensemble’s work to promote new music as repertoire. On January 27, Juventas features hornist Anne Howarth in a special solo concert, celebrating her five years with Juventas. March 23, The Age of the Rise highlights five composers' responses to climate change, with a collective call to action. Finally, on June 9 and 16, Juventas returns to New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill for a fourth consecutive year to present Music in Bloom, covering the 171-acre space with 5 simultaneous concerts, showcasing the music of 20 composers.
