Among the most exciting and ambitious new music
ensembles in Washington, D.C.” (Kyle Gullings, A
Composer’s Notebook), and “perhaps the DC
region’s most exciting professional group dedicated
to performing new classical music” (Jason McCool,
The Pinkline Project), Great Noise Ensemble is a
working embodiment of its mission to fight for the
performance of new works and promote emerging
talent in contemporary music.
Leviathan Trio
Leviathan is committed to performing the music of
our time with an emphasis on collaborative
commissioning, extended musicianship, and
gender-balanced programming. Now in their fifth
season, this dynamic trio is comprised of new
music specialist Lindsey Goodman on flute,
renowned chamber musician Hannah Pressley on
cello, and prize-winning composer Joseph
Dangerfield on piano.
