NOVA IX: ZODIAC

Friday, June 5 • Saturday, June 6 • Sunday, June 7, 2026

Lincoln Park Conservatory & Garfield Park Conservatory

To mark our 12th season, Constellation unveils NOVA IX: Zodiac, a groundbreaking cycle of twelve new choral works—each inspired by one of the astrological signs. From bold Leo to introspective Cancer, composers channel the elemental spirit of the zodiac into an expansive sound world for tenor/bass voices. Performed amid the lush gardens of the Lincoln Park and Garfield Park Conservatories, NOVA IX: Zodiac invites audiences to experience a true constellation of premieres that bridge the cosmic and the earthly.

Our 2025 Call for Composers is open for interested composers to be a part of NOVA IX!
