Vanguard New Music Series

The Vanguard New Music Series brings together local musicians and composers through a series of concerts hosted by Zion Lutheran Church in Saint Paul. Our mission is to present several concerts each year that showcase the music being composed today by living composers in Minnesota. Started in 2022, the series has grown to present multiple concerts with different musicians from a variety of backgrounds and premieres new works regularly. The series is organized by an advisory council of local musicians and is fiscally supported by RenegadeEnsemble.

Check out previous concerts in the series on YouTube.

Upcoming concerts will be included our Performances page and announced on Facebook.
