Exceptet
Exceptet is a seven-piece ensemble that commissions new works from emerging composers. Called “eclectic” and “quirky” (The New Yorker) with "vast emotional range and onomatopoetic charm" (I Care If You Listen), Exceptet has been featured on numerous new music series, including the Johnstone Foundation for New Music in Columbus, OH, Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, the Ecstatic Music Festival, the MATA Interval Series in New York, and has been showcased on WQXR. The septet is currently working with 2020-2021 Rome Prize-winning composer Katherine Balch to record and perform her new piece, Tree Lines, funded by the Barlow Endowment.
Founded by Bang On A Can Summer Festival alumni, members of the group have performed at Radio City Music Hall, Lincoln Center, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Hollywood Bowl, and more. Recent commissions include Scott Wollschleger, Brendon Randall-Myers, Fay Kueen Wang, and Alex Weiser. Exceptet is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
