Artist Bio

The New Music Ensemble at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is a student-led ensemble whose goal is to provide students the opportunity to perform contemporary art music from the 20th and 21st centuries. NME’s programming is, in one part, curated from performer interests, balanced against the practice of common styles and techniques found in the contemporary music canon. In the other part, NME aims to program new works written by living composers, including our composition studios at the UMN and the established works from composers in the U.S. and beyond.
