Our Ensembles

Mixed Ensemble

Founded in 2001, the Mixed Ensemble is one of New York City’s premiere SSAATTBB ensembles. The Ensemble is versatile, performing a vast variety of choral music, with a specialization in new works by young composers. Members include highly skilled musicians with varied backgrounds, including professional musicians and music teachers, artists in other disciplines, and accomplished professionals in legal, finance, and tech fields, all united by a deep love of choral music.

Highlights from past years have included performances of works by Eric Whitacre, Morten Lauridsen, Melissa Dunphy, Rachel DeVore Fogarty, Ola Gjeilo, and a commission by Rex Isenberg called “Love Texts”, in which text was written by members of the Ensemble themselves.

The Mixed Ensemble recently performed at the American Choral Directors’ Association (ACDA) Eastern Region Conference in Providence, RI, an honor shared with just over a dozen other choirs from throughout the Northeastern US, and was the sole choir from New York State invited.

Future planned projects include works by Valentin Silvestrov, Reena Esmail, James Lavino, Alex Berko, Darith Seth, Matthew Lyon Hazzard, and Patrick Vu.
