An exciting and groundbreaking musical enterprise consisting of seven core musicians, two co-directors, and selected collaborators, all singularly skilled at the performance of new music, the Empyrean Ensemble is dedicated to the showcasing of contemporary classical works, whether created by eminent composers or virtual unknowns, and has premiered some 200 such pieces. Recent concerts have been heralded as “daring and well conceived” by the SF Classical Voice, and “an extraordinary program of modern music!” by the Sacramento Bee.
