"Composers Concordance has existed some 36 years, a veritable New York new music institution of concerts, album production and multiple ensembles under a sweeping, tenacious brand, thriving on the emulsion of contemporary classical, free improv, jazz and rock, overt humor and fearless political statements, all very much in evidence..The ensemble..was masterful throughout.”- John Pietaro,
The New York City Jazz Record
"An unwavering force in giving composers exposure through concert bookings and its own record label, the intrepid new-music organization Composers Concordance"
-The Brooklyn Rail
“Enterprising new music organization”
-The New York Times
"The Composers Concordance folks are unpredictable and at times refreshingly irreverent in a reverent sort of way….ingenious fun"
-Classical-Modern Music Review
“These men and women are creating exciting music with elements of jazz, world music and many experimental techniques blended with equal parts classical tradition and playing techniques.”
-Music Notes:
Classical music evolves
