Foundation For Modern Music is a Houston-based nonprofit dedicated to presenting cutting-edge contemporary music since 1986. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we bring world-class performances to premier venues across the city, nurture education and community outreach, and spotlight emerging and established composers alike. With annual attendance surpassing 8,000, the foundation works to make modern music accessible through residencies, collaborations, and innovative programming in spaces such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), Zilkha Hall, Miller Outdoor Theatre, and Rothko Chapel. The Foundation has earned international recognition through associations with venues and institutions like La MaMa (New York), Wigmore Hall (London), and the Smithsonian, underscoring Houston's role in the global contemporary music scene.
