no comfort in the waiting room brings contemporary classical music to the Pittsburgh community through public, pay-what-you-can concerts, pop-up performances, and educational outreach to underserved schools. The project highlights works by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and historically underrepresented composers, providing access to music that is often overlooked. By engaging diverse audiences and challenging traditional barriers in classical music, NCWR aims to foster a more inclusive and dynamic musical culture in the city.
