yMusic

yMusic is a genre-leading American chamber ensemble. Now in its 16th season, the group is renowned for its innovative and collaborative spirit. Since its inception, yMusic has had a unique mission: to work on both sides of the classical/popular music divide, without sacrificing rigor, virtuosity, charisma or style. The group was recently praised by NPR Music as “deeply, profoundly skilled. They’ve formed a language all their own.”

Named for “Generation Y,” yMusic and its cohort of composer-collaborators, who include Andrew Norman, Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, Marcos Balter and Caroline Shaw, have come to represent the vanguard of American contemporary music. Simultaneously, yMusic has been tapped to lend its orchestral sound and instantly recognizable style to recordings and concert projects by a dizzying array of popular artists from ANOHNI to John Legend to Paul Simon.
