OME is a new music presenting organization in Phoenix, AZ that seeks to connect emerging composers, ensembles, and musicians with each other and with the greater Phoenix community. OME is a grassroots organization run by a team of musicians, composers, and music educators who are passionate about new music and the Phoenix community. We are DIY in every sense of the word. OME has a small budget- we operate on funding received from small grants, ticket sales, donated services and equipment, and the 100% volunteer efforts of our staff and community.

The OME New Music Festival is an annual event where we invite unique and adventurous ensembles, solo artists, and projects to perform works by modern composers. The OME Festival has historically featured its performers in an eclectic variety of venues, from traditional concert halls to art galleries, bars, and cafes.
