EAR HEART MUSIC

“… a feisty contemporary-classical concert series” (The NY Times)

A showcase of highly talented and adventurous performers, composers, and collaborative artists, Ear Heart Music is a modern chamber music series for modern ears. Operating at the Tank in Manhattan for the past three years, curator Amelia Lukas “piloted impressive events on a shoestring budget. Roulette offers greater resources, and Ms. Lukas is taking advantage in an ambitious season filled with premieres and cross-disciplinary collaborations. ” (The NY Times)

Ear Heart Music “has become a staple in the New York new music soundscape.” (Time Out NY) Thoughtfully designed programs highlighting recent masterworks stimulate creative thought and instill new avenues of perspective for the listener. Intelligent and inspiring music-making resonates in the mind and body, nurturing the audience. Shows include electronic processing, performance art, visual art, film, and dance, providing deeper context for the music. Unique artist pairings, diverse programming, and the integral incorporation of the new all contribute to Ear Heart Music playing a major role in reshaping the chamber music landscape for the 21st century.

“scintillating”
“phenomenal programming”
“impeccably curated”
“truly original”
“one of our favorite new music series”
