American Modern Ensemble is marking its 10th anniversary in 2014-2015 which spotlights American music via lively thematic programming, performing the widest possible repertoire, particularly by living composers.
AME is proud of our audience base that is far and wide. AME always includes on-stage chats with featured composers, presents premieres, and conducts three annual competitions for young, emerging and professional composers. Winners all get a premiere performance in New York City with a recording, videography, and cash prizes. Every concert enables audience members to mingle with both composers and performers in an intimate, fun, and relaxed setting. Founded in New York City in 2005 by Robert Paterson and Victoria Paterson, AME is a dynamic, creative force in the modern music scene.

“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."
