Join us for Season 16: Becoming

This season will feature six concerts exploring the many ways we experience and carry music through time: from the curiosity of Wonder, to the origins found in Roots, the collected stories of Fragments, the immediacy of Presence, the echoes of Memory, and the ongoing process of Evolution.

Together, these concerts reflect our own journey of becoming – honoring the past, embracing the present, and imagining the future of chamber music in our community.

Founded in 2011 by clarinetist Pascal Archer, Exponential Ensemble is a mixed chamber music ensemble made of New York City’s top-notch performers and teaching artists. Each season the ensemble presents compelling programs that include both classic masterworks and contemporary masterpieces.

Exponential Ensemble’s mission includes commissioning and premiering works by living composers that are inspired by math, science and literacy. Since 2013 they have commissioned new works by composers such as Amy Brandon, Robert Paterson, Jessica Meyer, Gilad Cohen, and Jared Miller. They collaborate regularly with composer Daniel Ott for the Fordham Composers Program at Lincoln Center’s Fordham University. Recent collaborations included new music residencies with the Composers Collective and at the Mostly Modern Festival, during which Exponential Ensemble premiered new works by emerging composers.
