Same location for 45 years We are the oldest sheet music purveyor in the city. We hope to see you here soon!

Performers Music is a classical sheet music store located in the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue. Since opening in 1981, the store has been owned and operated by Lee Newcomer, a man whose dedication and expansive knowledge has achieved near legendary status in the classical music community of Chicago. We cater to professional performers, teachers, students, and beginners of all levels. Our s

election of sheet music is mostly classical and we also carry jazz, vocal standards and showtunes, plus a wide variety of method books for many different instruments. We have an impressive selection of recorders and recorder music and musical accessories such as stands, stand lights, reeds, mutes, and oil. The webstore lists a broad selection of what the store is capable of ordering for you and not necessarily what is on our shelves at any given point. Give us a call to see if a particular item is in stock. We recommend that you come into our store on Michigan Avenue to browse through our extensive selection, compare editions, find new surprises, meet old and new friends, and see our venerable Wall of Fame! The Fine Arts Building itself is an iconic part of the Chicago Loop, filled with interesting shops, musicians, artists, craftsmen, and a yoga studio.

Our Composer of the Week is…

Igor Stravinsky! 🌿🐦‍🔥

Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer, pianist, and conductor whose innovative works shaped 20th-century music. Renowned for his stylistic diversity, he revolutionized composition with ballets such as The Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring, the last of which famously caused a riot at its Paris premiere due to its unusual rhythms and dissonance. Throughout his career, Stravinsky continually reinvented his musical language - moving from Russian nationalism to neoclassicism and later, serialism - cementing his reputation as one of the 20th century’s most influential and versatile musical figures.
