International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE): "On and Off the Page" 2010 LPR Residency
The International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) is a uniquely structured chamber music ensemble comprised of thirty dynamic and versatile young performers who are dedicated to advancing the music of our time. Through innovative programming, inter-disciplinary collaborations, commissions by young composers, and performances in nontraditional venues, ICE brings together new music and new audiences.
ICE was founded in 2001, and has rapidly established itself as one of the leading new-music ensembles of its generation. Awarded the American Music Center’s Trailblazer Award for 2010 and CMA/ASCAP’s 2010 Award for Adventurous Programming, the ensemble performs over fifty concerts a year in the US and abroad. Recent engagements include headline performances at the Musica Nova Festival (Helsinki, Finland), the Mostly Mozart Festival of Lincoln Center, the opening ceremonies of the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center, and multiple engagements at Miller Theatre. In addition to ICE’s performances at major venues throughout the world, the ensemble has self-produced eight large-scale contemporary music festivals in venues as wide-ranging as nightclubs, galleries and public spaces, many of which are free and open to the public. ICE has released critically acclaimed recordings on the Bridge, Naxos and New Focus labels.
