The more adventurous strains of indie rock and contemporary compositional music collided at the third annual MusicNOW festival, which wrapped up over the weekend at Cincinnati's Memorial Hall.

Curated by National guitarist Bryce Dessner, the eclectic festival brought together the likes of Grizzly Bear, Andrew Bird, Dirty Projectors, and modern music mavericks Bang on a Can All-Stars (joined by Dessner and Wilco percussionist extraordinaire Glenn Kotche), with Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, and the Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry also putting in appearances.
