Performer Bios:
Anti-Social Music, is a collective of composers and performers created for the purpose of presenting new music by emerging, primarily New York-based musicians. We came together in November 2000 for what was originally intended only as a one-off concert called “An Afternoon of Anti-Social Chamber Music”. Turns out people liked it, so now we present concerts of new compositions written and performed by ASM members and associates. http://www.antisocialmusic.org
Collectively, the musicians of Elevator Rose represent a wide range of influences and styles and are intent on working with young composers and writing original music. The group has performed at the CUNY New Music Festival, Glasslands, Death by Audio and Queens College.http://www.elevatorrose.com
Iktus Percussion is an ambitious, dynamic young ensemble committed to expanding the boundaries of the percussion genre. Iktus is a collective-based operation, featuring an array of industrious and multi-talented percussionists with Chris Graham, Justin Wolf, Steve Sehman, Nick Woodbury, and Cory Bracken at the core. http://www.iktuspercussion.com
Founded in 2011, the New Thread Quartet is committed to the creation and performance of saxophone quartet repertoire from New York’s Burgeoning new music scene. Members of the ensemble are active as composers, performers, educators and industry professionals and hold degrees from the most prestigious conservatories and music schools in the US and Europe. http://www.newthreadquartet.com
Quiet City is a network of experimental composers, performers and improvisers that explores the relationship between traditionally notated concert music and extemporaneous performance via different methods of improvisation. http://www.quietcitymusic.com
thingNY is a collective of composer-performers who create and perform theatrically charged experimental music, champion the work of avant-garde and contemporary classical composers, and collaborate across disciplines, media and genres. http://www.thingNY.com
