Created in 2019 as a merger of Bay Area new music groups Wild Rumpus and Composers, Inc. Ninth Planet combines the resources of performers and composers of music of our time. Its core ensemble is often supplemented by guest vocalists and instrumentalists to present a rich and wide-ranging repertoire.
