Event
Janus Contemporary Ensemble
Brooklyn based Janus was formed in 2002 with the goal of presenting and creating new repertoire for the trio. Named after Janus, the Roman god whose double-faced image peers into the past and future, the trio maintains the established tradition for the instrumentation while breaking new ground into unexplored sonic frontiers.
Beginning with Debussy and including Toru Takemitsu, Harald Genzmer, Andr Jolivet, Sophia Gubaidulina and Kaija Saariaho, composers have been allured by this intriguing combination of something bowed, something blown and
something plucked. To date, janus has added over thirty new pieces to the trio library through individual submissions and collaborative projects with universities. Among the composers who have written for Janus are Caleb Burhans, Anna Clyne, Andrew McKenna-Lee, Jason Treuting, Dan Trueman, Dmitri Tymoczko and Barbara White.
Janus will be releasing it's debut album on New Amsterdam Records in Fall 2010.
