Close No Circle is a contemporary ensemble based in Dallas, TX.
We compose, perform, and record new and existing works of indeterminate music*.
Our mission is to advance the performance of indeterminate music beyond the scope of the collegiate academy by providing free performances at local schools and public venues across North Texas.
*Indeterminate music is defined as any music with attributes not predetermined by the composer(s).

The composers set the initial conditions. The performers make the decisions.
