- The chamber music ensemble Citywater has been playing in Sacramento for more than a decade on the cutting edge of contemporary classical.
- The all-female choral ensemble Vox Musica, breaking boundaries with unique collaborations.
- Romayne Wheeler, a concert pianist who fuses western classical with the indigenous music of Mexico.
