Several months ago (partly inspired by feelings documented in Natalie's recent post about the New York music scene bubble) we began a project of trying to create a comprehensive list of American new music ensembles by state. This was a much larger project than we thought it would be, mainly because we realized that there are actually tons of new music ensembles out there of all shapes and sizes: large, small, established, unestablished, run by composers, run by performers, etc. (yay!).
Here's where we'd like your help. We have dedicated a page of our blog to listing these new music ensembles, festivals, and concert series by state, or at least the ones of which we are currently aware. Please check it out here. This will be an ongoing project, much like our Frugal Composer page, and we would certainly appreciate any additions that you can think of. Our goal is to someday have a comprehensive list of American new music ensembles. For now, it's a reminder that there are great new music ensembles all over the country and the national new music scene continues to grow!
Please don't hesitate to send us any information you have. The page that's up right now is very much a work-in-progress, so check it out (again, here) and if you see things to add, please send us an email or leave a comment!
check out my twitter list, it may have some more (this also includes soloists and folks from outside the US): http://twitter.com/#!/adamscottneal/newmusic-performers/members
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam! It looks like something might be wrong with twitter at the moment but I'll check it out when it's back. And of course the Terminus Ensemble or whatever it ends up being will be added as soon as we can agree on something! :)
