Contemporaneous: Classical Ensemble in New York

About Contemporaneous

Contemporaneous is a New York City–based classical ensemble that works at the edges of minimalism and contemporary classical practice. The group appears at Roulette in Brooklyn and has been programmed alongside festival and composer-led projects such as Long Play Festival 2026, with artists including David Longstreth, Michael Brook, David Lang, and the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Their performances tend to favor structural clarity and close attention to timbre over spectacle. On streaming platforms they register as an emerging act, followed by a small but focused listenership.
