Brave New Works is a vibrant chamber ensemble of ten musicians dedicated to
performing and promoting new music. The mission of Brave New Works is
to engage, enrich and educate through contemporary music. Started by graduate
students at the University of Michigan eleven years ago, Brave New Works
has evolved into a professional touring ensemble with residencies that
span the coasts. Working with established composers such as William Bolcolm,
Bernard Rands, Marilyn Shrude and Bright Sheng and championing the music
of the newest voices in the field through a college residency program,
Brave New Works has been hailed as one of the finest new music groups
in this country. Awarded an Aaron Copland grant for recording, the ensemble
will be releasing its first cd, Quintets: Albright-Bolcom, in spring of
2008. The musicians of Brave New Works serve on the faculties of prestigious
colleges and universities around the country including Cornell University,
the University of Michigan, Bowling Green State University, and the University
of Puget Sound, and are in demand as soloists, chamber musicians, and
orchestral performers.
Brave New Works will be in Boston for a residency at the Boston Conservatory
November 13-18 and will perform "Short Stories" by Braxton Blake
(Boston premiere), "Indigenous Instruments" by Steve Mackey,
"Slide Stride" by Mark-Anthony Turnage, and "Compline"
by Christopher Rouse.
