Arts + Literature Laboratory welcomes the return of the Madison New Music Ensemble for a concert on Friday, October 27, 2023 at 7:00pm. Tickets are $20, or $15 for seniors, students, and ALL members. Doors open at 6:30pm.
The MNME is dedicated to the performance of current compositions by contemporary composers whose works are related to the tradition of “written-out music” (concert music) which has been a mainstay of Western musical culture for many years. Past Madison concerts have been at the First Unitarian Society, the Summer Serenades Concerts at the Memorial Union, Capitol Lakes Auditorium, and Oakwood Village and other venues.
The program for the October concert will feature works by living American composers including Jessie Montgomery, Mason Bates, Valerie Coleman, a new work for solo flute and electronics by Joseph Koykkar, and other selections.
The six-member ensemble is comprised of local professional musicians many of whom perform regularly with Madison orchestras and chamber music groups. The current musicians are Wes Luke, violin, Amy Harr, cello, Danielle Breisach, flute, Bethany Schultz, Elena Ross, mallets and Stacy Regehr, piano. Guest artist: Berlinda Lopez, flute.
