Quarantine Collection

Due to the threat of Covid-19 we have suspended our live performances, but that is not going to stop us from presenting amazing music in whatever form we can. NEXT@HOME is a video series of local musicians and composers playing the music we would love to be sharing with you live. Art is resilient, and artists will make art regardless the obstacle. We look forward to seeing you again when it is once again safe for our usual programming. Until then, enjoy NEXT@HOME using the link below.

New Year New Music

Union Grill, 315 24th Street, Ogden

Partnering with Utah’s New Music collective Salty Cricket, NEXT Ensemble is proud to present 20/20: Ways of Seeing, a concert to toast the New Year featuring brand new works for piano quartet composed by 4 Utah-based composers: Igor Iachimciuc, Aaron J. Kirschner, Esther Megargel, & Alfonso E. Tenreiro.

Today’s composers live in the same world the rest of us do: they are subject to the same politics, modern-day means of production and consumption, and technologically-induced pace of life. Whether or not their pieces tell a story or are otherwise explicitly “about” the present world, they are nonetheless and inescapably part of it.

Today’s composers represent a diversity of voices simply not represented in the world of “historical” classical music, where works by women and persons of color were often systematically excluded.

Without bringing new ideas and new voices to the table, classical music as an art form ceases to develop. It will live on, but as in a museum, and it will stop reflecting the world we know today. Despite the unprecedented ease for audiences to access contemporary music, It is extremely difficult for new composers to emerge in the classical music landscape; we must to what we can to support the creation and performance of music of our own time, for music that is new today will soon become our legacy, a window into our world for those who come after us. Indeed, contemporary music and other art forms are leaving the traces of a history we are writing right now.

“For the first time in my adult life, I felt as if I was part of the classical music world and that my lack of a suit jacket and tie didn't set me apart from the others in attendance...it transformed my relationship with classical music.” - Taylor Knuth
