The Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble is one of the nation's oldest professional ensembles devoted to the music of our time, presenting new music with wit, power, insight and beauty in a way you won't encounter anywhere else. The 1976 brainstorm of composer David Stock, the Ensemble has collaborated with such composers as John Cage, Milton Babbitt, Witold Lutoslawski, Joan Tower, John Harbison, William Kraft, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, and with performers as diverse as Richard Stoltzman, Stephen Burns, Ivan Monighetti, Vladimir Feltsman, the String Trio of New York, Leroy Jenkins, and Jean-Luc Ponty. PNME has premiered more than 100 works, many written especially for them. If you think you don't like modern music or think it can't be truly exciting, PNME will challenge, delight and move you with a musical experience unlike any other.
