The Project
Having experienced much professional success within this first year as an established ensemble, we are setting our sights on a series of new initiatives, chief among them being the release of our first album. Our group, with its diverse background and fresh musical perspective, is committed to championing new music by living composers. This album will include a well-rounded program of contemporary works, and we strive to bring our unique energy to every piece while staying true to the vision of each composer.
By supporting our project, you will be a key component in the promotion of new music!
