An annual concert that premieres a new major work written and performed by N.E.O. composers and singers.

N.E.O.’s eighth Exploratorio will focus on the expansiveness of life transitions from physical death to the shock of renewal to the overturning of a philosophy. Every death creates room for new life, just as every life thrives on death. The end of a relationship with a life partner, business partner, or friend, moving to a new place, or leaving behind a beloved hobby all embody the transitional energy that forges our identities. In the expansiveness of time, none are memorable. The very idea of "At The End Of All Things" speaks to humanity's limited perspective. Yet, in those limits lives our passions and feelings of purpose.
