Nonsequitur

Nonsequitur welcomes our newest cohort of community curators for the 2026 NonSeq concert series: Robert Francis, Haley Freedlund, Cuong Vu, and Gretchen Yanover. All of them have participated in many shows at the Chapel over the years, and we are delighted to have them join us to determine the next year of our programming. Each curator will be responsible for putting together three events in the coming year, for a total of twelve performances featuring local and visiting artists. To kick off the new concert season, they will be performing solo sets in a special Curators Concert at the Chapel on Thursday, January 29.

Much gratitude for our outgoing 2025 curators – Noel Brass, Jr., Chloe Harris, Chris Icasiano, and Ha-Yang Kim – all of whom did a stellar job. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we look forward to their continued involvement in performing and organizing shows at the Chapel in the future.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we’ve been considering how we can most directly assist the artists who inhabit our particular niche of the Seattle music community.

With the Chapel closed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wayward Music Series now moves from the concert hall to the internet. In place of our usual ten monthly concerts, Nonsequitur is curating and commissioning ten Seattle artists each month to create a series of streaming audio sessions of exclusive material. Many of these will be essentially “live” performances recorded at home or in the Chapel for this occasion. Others may create a mix of pre-recorded material that has not been previously released elsewhere.

These tracks are available to stream at no charge on the Wayward website and SoundCloud, and will be promoted like our concerts via our weekly e-newsletter and our Facebook group. The artists retain all rights to their recordings. We strongly encourage you to visit their web sites and purchase their recordings or contribute to their personal crowdfunding campaigns.

This series will continue for as long as we are unable to use the Chapel for performances.
