"Devoting a program to Minimalist and microtonal compositions could easily amount to an egghead agenda; leave it to the American Modern Ensemble to make it a party instead." - The New York Times
Hailed by the New York Times as having "a strong fan base” and being comprised of “performers of high-quality," and for its "exceptional energy and thoughtful programming" (MusicWeb International), American Modern Ensemble (AME) is a dynamic, creative force in the American new music scene. Founded in New York City in 2005, AME performs the widest possible repertoire written by North, South and Central American composers.
Incorporating the traditional and the cutting edge, stretching from the bawdy to the brilliant, the New York Times says AME has “consistently demonstrated a flair for inventive programming.” With a world-class ensemble made up of some of NYC’s finest musicians, AME has performed and premiered hundreds of works by living, American composers. AME is committed to connecting audiences with composers: 90% of composers whose work has been programmed by AME, have attended the concerts, including John Luther Adams, Chen Yi, John Harbison, Aaron Jay Kernis, Steven Mackey, Marc Mellits, Paul Moravec, Peter Schikele, Steve Stucky, Joan Tower and David Del Tredici.
AME has performed in a variety of venues, including Lincoln Center, Times Center, Merkin Hall, Galapagos Art Space, Barge Music, Paula Cooper Gallery, Tenri Center, Faust Harrison Pianos, Gitterman Gallery, Princeton University, Sarah Lawrence College and the Catskill Mountain Foundation.
AME has been generously supported by grants from a variety of organizations, including the Copland Foundation, NYSCA, the Hegardt Foundation, the Doctorow Foundation, New Music USA (formerly Meet The Composer and American Music Center), Wise Family Charitable Foundation, BMI, ASCAP, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and various private foundations.
