At National Sawdust, we believe that artistic expression empowers us all to create a more joyful and just world.

We curate and produce music and artistic works rooted in curiosity, experimentation, innovation, and inclusivity, and present our work by engaging communities of artists and audiences at our state-of-the-art Williamsburg home and on our digital stage.

We are excited to welcome audiences back to National Sawdust for Season 7, which launches on Dec 15-16 with 21c Liederabend op. Senses. You can find out more about the program and order tickets by clicking here.

We reflect on the time away from live performance and are grateful for the digital stage we now have, full of past performances, masterclasses and new commissions since March 2020 that are a window into one joining truth: through the toughest of times, art continues and provides sustenance.

Going forward, we celebrate our transition to welcoming you back inside the National Sawdust performance space, and our renewed commitment to helping foster communities of audiences and a new generation of composers and their work, across styles, through commissions, mentoring to share the joy of music.

Our full season announcement launches soon, and we hope to see you at one of the many exciting offerings! 

Thank you for sticking with us. We hope to delight your senses in December and throughout 2022.
