The NYME collaborated with the Museum of the Moving Image to perform live films scores to the early films of the Thomas Edison Company. The Ensemble is pursuing a wide variety of special projects, including performances of music composed by computers and animals, scores for silent short films, works written by deaf composers who have never heard music, and pieces composed by thousands of people together on a collaborative composition website which anyone in the world can access. The Miniaturist Ensemble is currently gathering material for a regular podcast of recorded orchestral and operatic works. |
