The festival features some of the country's leading contemporary classical music composers and performers. This year marks the 38th year the festival has been a fall fixture on the Sacramento State campus, along with some additional venues.

The evening featured concerts will be live webcast, with performances most nights at 8 p.m. There are no FeNAM events scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 11, due to Veteran's Day. The final concert of the festival is set for 6 p.m. Saturday featuring Charles Spurill on violin and Michael Riesman on piano from the Music Recital Hall.
