The New Music Ensemble (NME) at Dalhousie’s Fountain School of Performing Arts (FSPA) defies categorization by traditional standards. The NME blurs the boundaries between composition and performance, old and new ways of playing, acoustic and electronic music, classic and contemporary styles, notated and improvised music, and welcomes collaboration across disciplines.
his super creative group of FSPA student musicians explores the techniques, skills, and creative approaches of the 21st century contemporary classical musician and performs repertoire by living composers, brand new compositions by FSPA students, brand new group compositions co-created by NME members, as well as improvised music.
he NME is directed by FSPA faculty member, composer/performer Matthias McIntire.
