Wide-eyed and fearless group of performers and composers, known to fuse the 'formal elegance of chamber music with a pop-honed concision and rhythmic vitality.'
Our new full-length album, Before and After, is out everywhere! Composed by long-time NOW Ensemble collaborator @FriarSean, Before and After features an evocative score in eight sections recorded by NOW Ensemble. Visit https://t.co/lht5ooJjJT to listen.

Working on musical education is a pillar of NOW Ensemble’s mission, so we were glad to hold an event for Penn State music students showcasing our repertoire and working with student ensembles in a masterclass format.
Mark your calendars! 10/20 will be the long-awaited premiere of our very own @juddgreenstein's original opera, @AMarvelousOrder. We're thrilled to be part of this journey, and invite you to join us 10/20 to enjoy the very first full performance. More info is below!

Album release day! BEFORE AND AFTER is an incredible work by Sean Friar, “a rumination on the lifespan of civilizations, on our own small place in the larger rhythm of the world,” in the composer’s words. It’s truly a marvel of chamber music. Get it here: https://t.co/BJjXE56ygr
