American Modern Ensemble History
The American Modern Ensemble, founded in 2006, has quickly established itself as a prominent force in contemporary classical music. With a mission to promote and perform the works of living composers alongside traditional repertoire, the ensemble is known for its adventurous programming and commitment to new music. Based in New York City, the ensemble has collaborated with various composers, artists, and interdisciplinary projects, creating a vibrant platform for innovation in the arts. The AME’s founders—artistic director Dr. John Villa and a dedicated group of musicians—saw the potential for a collective that celebrated the diversity and complexity of modern music while engaging audiences in fresh and meaningful ways. Over the years, AME has presented a plethora of world premieres, thus playing a pivotal role in the commissioning of new works, establishing their presence in both local and international music scenes. The ensemble's unique blend of percussion, strings, woodwinds, and electronic instruments allows for a kaleidoscopic sound palette that reflects the diverse influences of contemporary composers. Their commitment to inclusivity in their programming also emphasizes the importance of underrepresented voices in classical music, thereby contributing to the evolution of the genre.
