Ensemble Decipher presents a concert of music written and adapted for networked performance on Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 5:30pm PT / 7:30pm CT / 8:30pm ET. The music will be performed live via the internet from six different locations and streamed on Decipher’s YouTube channel.

The concert will feature a series of works new to Decipher’s repertoire by some of our favorite composers. Magic 8 Balls, toy instruments, and machine listening abound in Pamela Z’s Twenty Answers in an arrangement by Paula Matthusen, Angélica Negrón’s The Little Things, Scott Miller’s Exit Velocity, Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi’s Speculating and Reflecting, and toy_5 by Decipher’s own Eric Lemmon.
We are heading to #Denmark to perform at this year’s New Music for Strings and we couldn’t be more excited! There, we will be performing as the Ensemble in Residence, and premiering works hot off the press by Mari Kimura and Sophia Sagaradze, as well as presenting works from our repertoire by Niloufar Nourbakhsh, Margaret Schedel, and Yaz Lancaster. Additionally, our very own Eric Lemmon collaborated with New Music for Strings co-Founder and Artistic Director Anne Sophie Andersen on a new work, which will be premiered as well!
