NOW Ensemble is a dynamic group of performers and composers dedicated to making new chamber music for the 21st century. With its unique instrumentation, the ensemble brings a fresh sound and a new perspective to the classical tradition, infused with the musical influences that reflect the diverse backgrounds of its members. Dedicated to the creation of vibrant new musical works, they have premiered and recorded dozens of new works by some of the most exciting composers of their generation. NOW regularly appears at major venues and festivals around the world, and released its seventh album, Before and After, in 2021. TURNmusic is thrilled to support today's reading workshop and performance by the NOW Ensemble. This visit is made possible because of our collaboration with Judd Greenstein and New Amsterdam Records. We are committed to presenting and performing contemporary music while supporting equity among music creators, fostering inclusive audiences, and contributing to the cultural vibrancy of Central Vermont. We are dedicated, through our programming, to reflect all humans with intentional considerations around representation. Presenting eclectic and original performing arts experiences in Vermont since 2014, we prioritize sound art that invites listeners to be open and engaged in the experience. We are looking to be inspired, to be surprised, to learn from artists. We are delivering the highest level of performance around Vermont and in our new home, The Phoenix Gallery & Music Hall, in downtown Waterbury, Vermont. Stay in touch at www.turnmusic.org
