ENSEMBLE DU MONDE
Described as “ … the future of classical music” by Time OUT Ensemble du Monde is one of the most dynamic and innovative chamber orchestras on the classical music scene today. Founded in New York City in 2000 and named to reflect the diversity of its members who hail from over fifteen countries, cultures and backgrounds.
In 2000 the ensemble was selected by Daimler Chrysler and Mercedes Benz to perform at the world première inauguration of their new MAYBACH Car, an event that received worldwide multimedia press coverage. A Lincoln Center début followed in 2002 and in 2004 the ensemble made its Carnegie Hall début, which included renowned soprano, Deborah Voigt. Frequent radio broadcasts have included Radio Free Europe where selections from the ensemble's popular 'Baroquen Promises' Series at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York were broadcast internationally. In 2007 the ensemble performed the music for the live world premiere performance of the “Save the Goldfish” episode of the Nickelodeon television channel’s EMMY Award winning ‘Wonder Pets’ show at New York’s Javits Center.
The orchestra appears in concert throughout New York City performing a series of innovative concerts at The Dimenna Center for Classical Music, Carnegie Hall and serves as Ensemble-in-Residence for the International Festival Saint-Georges in Guadeloupe and most recently in the Bahamas, this past February 2013 for Nassau Music Society’s Festival of Afro-Caribbean Composers sponsored by Atlantis Resort, Alliance française, Société Générale and the United States Embassy. Ensemble du Monde is currently preparing for a China tour and a debut CD release in 2015.
