New Music Ensemble

Join us for a free concert by the New Music Ensemble. The concert will be a relaxed affair with a bar from 5pm and caberet seating in Firth Hall – no tickets required. The New Music Ensemble are excited to present new compositions for mixed ensemble, conducted by James Thomas, as well as music by Alex Neal and Leo Brouwer for percussion and bass clarinet (Tianyu Chen and Chengyi Zhang).

The New Music Ensemble is an elite ensemble that performs new compositions by living composers, including students, staff and guests, as well as 20th and 21st-Century repertoire. Each New Music Ensemble concert is a uniquely-curated listening experience for audiences, often featuring innovative instrumentations and uses of space.
