Collage New Music is a classical music ensemble specialising in performance of works by 20th- and 21st-century composers. It was founded in 1972 by percussionist Frank Epstein who served as its Music Director until 1991. Since that time its Director has been the conductor David Hoose.[1]
The Ensemble
Collage New Music is a Boston-based ensemble. Since 2009, their main performing venue has been the Longy School of Music's Edward M. Pickman Concert Hall.[2] Since its inception in 1972, Collage New Music has maintained a reputation for performing works by the great composers of the 20th and 21st century,[3] such as Edgar Varese, John Cage, Yehudi Wyner, Olivier Messian, and Joan Tower. Collage opened the 2001 Festival of Contemporary Music at Tanglewood with a concert featuring composers long associated with the ensemble: Gunther Schuller, John Harbison, and Donald Sur.[4] While honoring the music of the earlier 20th century, Collage has a longstanding tradition of commissioning new works by living composers and often providing many Boston premieres.[5]
Collage also host a composer-in-residence each year that allows the ensemble to engage with young Boston composers, and attain a consistent working relationship with the community through various outreach activities. Collage now host annual composer competitions for high school students, fostering the development and progression of music.
