Cadillac Moon Ensemble is changing the idiom of quartet music. With its unique instrumentation of flute, violin, cello, and percussion, the ensemble is dedicated to the exploration of new sonorous and evocative aural possibilities, expanding the boundaries of each instrument and of the quartet. CME is focused on commissioning new works from and developing integral relationships with emerging and established composers.
CME’s commitment to these objectives and its unique instrumentation of flute, violin, cello, and percussion yields a stimulating and untapped reservoir from which new musical voices will be discovered and nurtured.
In Fall 2008, CME premiered works by Luca Vanneschi, Dominic Donato, and Jay Batzner, and recorded Jordan McClean’s The Eye is Closing on the Days of Driving. Additionally, the group was a semi-finalist in the Concert Artists Guild competition and is currently a featured artist on New Dynamics Records website. Recent performances include: Kathleen Supové’s Music With a View series at The Flea Theater, Vox Novus Composer's Voice Series, and performances at the Nicholas Roerich Museum, Waltz-Astoria, and SUNY-Purchase. In the three years since its inception, CME has commissioned/premiered over a dozen works.
