If you are looking for some adventurous and experimental music, Atlanta has you covered. The SoundNOW Festival is presenting a week of concerts from the city’s many contemporary ensembles, and bringing composers and musicians in from all over the country.

The festival runs through Saturday, April 13 at venues around town.

The main event is a concert by the group Bent Frequency. The program is titled “Anthem,” after a work by special guest composer George Lewis, who is also giving a series of lectures in conjunction with the festival.
