yMusic
Chamber music with a wild streak.
Named for "Generation Y," yMusic and their cohort of composer-collaborators represent the vanguard of American contemporary music. Now in its 17th season, this genre-leading American chamber ensemble is renowned for its innovative and collaborative spirit. Since their inception, yMusic has pursued a unique mission: to work on both sides of the classical and popular music divide, without sacrificing virtuosity, charisma or style. They have collaborated with a wide range of artists, including John Legend, Paul Simon, Ben Folds and Caroline Shaw. Their music is lush and cinematic, effortlessly blending classical precision with the energy and aesthetic of pop, rock and folk.
