Holocene

Holocene is a Chicago-based music ensemble made up of Phoebe Wu (pianist), Dalia Chin (flutist), and Isidora Nojkovic (cellist). Holocene means “entirely new”, and is also the geological time period we are currently in. The ensemble performs contemporary classical and genre-bending music, welcoming listeners into the communal, grounding, and timeless experience of live new music.

Active soloists and collaborators in the vibrant Chicago music scene and beyond, the members of Holocene originally met while performing in the Midwest Graduate Music Consortium in 2022. The trio was brought together by a shared passion for creating genuine connection between people, music, and place.
