"NEW MUSIC AT FULL THROTTLE"
​– San Francisco Classical Voice

ABOUT

Ninth Planet is a new music ensemble and service organization dedicated to the commissioning, performance and furthering of new music, especially the works of young composers. 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. Ninth Planet hosts an annual call-for-scores as part of the internationally renowned Suzanne & Lee Ettelson Composer's Award.
