ISSAsonus Ensemble

THE ENSEMBLE AND ITS MISSION

ISSA Sonus Ensemble is a newly formed music ensemble based in New York City which examines music cross-culturally in context of an ever more connected world.

Bringing together a vibrant group of performers and composers who share a wealth of music achievements, ISSA Sonus musicians hail from renowned conservatories and universities, including the Juilliard School, the London College of Music, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and Columbia University. They have performed across the world featuring as soloists as well as members of orchestras and ensembles.

With a rich repertoire including numerous world premieres, ISSA Sonus musicians are passionate for the development and advocacy of new music, but also recognize the importance of the many music traditions that they share. As a result many of their concerts expand classical chamber music to include music that cross boundaries in terms of culture, style and tradition. Concerts have also included performances with non-western instrumentalists such as their New York Premiere of the work Memories of a Shoehorn with Turkish Oud player Munir Nurettin Beken.
