Madison New Music Ensemble

Overview

Madison New Music Ensemble
Saturday, February 8 • 7 PM • Main Galleries • Free Admission

The Madison New Music Ensemble presents a contemporary classical music concert inspired by the themes in the exhibition Broken Spectre such as climate change, water pollution, and protecting the natural environment. This free performance takes place in the Museum’s Main Galleries, surrounded by Richard Mosse’s large-scale photographs of the ecological impact of humans on the Amazon.  

The Madison New Music Ensemble is dedicated to the performance of current compositions by contemporary composers whose works are related to the tradition of “written-out music” (concert music) which has been a mainstay of Western musical culture for many years. The six-member ensemble, led by Artistic Director Joseph Koykkar, is comprised of local professional musicians, many of whom perform regularly with Madison orchestras and chamber music groups.
