Music Program and Bard College Conservatory of Music Present

NOW Ensemble 

Acclaimed New York-based new music quintet NOW Ensemble makes a stop at Bard as part of their northeast tour, performing works by Judd Greenstein, Gabriella Smith, Mark Dancigers, Jonghee Kang, Patrick Burke, Bard composition faculty member Missy Mazzoli, and student Elena Hause. With a unique instrumentation of flute, clarinet, electric guitar, double bass, and piano, the ensemble brings a fresh sound and a new perspective to the classical tradition, infused with the musical influences that reflect the diverse backgrounds of its members. NOW Ensemble has brought some of the most exciting composers of their generation to national and international recognition, and has performed at venues including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, as well as on NPR’s All Things Considered. Newsweek recently claimed that “NOW... imports a catchy inflection to classical forms... Striking a balance between the old and the new has rarely sounded this good.”
