The Ensemble
Collage New music is a boston based ensemble. Since it's inception in 1972, it has maintained a reputation for performing works by the great composers of the 20th and 21st century, such as Edgar Varese, John Cage, Yehudi Wyner, Olivier Messian, and Joan Tower. 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.
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.
