Contemporaneous

Sounds Fun!

Contemporaneousis an ensemble of 25 musicians whose mission is to bring to life the most transformative music by living composers through performances, commissions, recordings, and educational programs. Described as"exact and detailed, but also lively and openly dancing"(The New York Times) and"leading new music towards its better self"(I Care If You Listen), Contemporaneous particularly champions the creation of large-scale works and “dream projects,” which composers might not otherwise have opportunities to realize due to scale.

Sounds Fun! is a presentation of the most joyous collection of music being written for today’s world.
