Juventas New Music Ensemble is a contemporary chamber group with a focus on emerging voices. Event promoters say this ensemble "reimagines classical music as a vibrant living art form, uplifting rising voices and bringing audiences music from a diverse array of composers that live in today's world and respond to our time."
Juventas members say their concerts center on the human experience, featuring deeply personal music that fosters conversation and reflection.
The group's work has been recognized with multiple American Prize wins and support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Massachusetts Cultural Council, New Music USA, and the Boston Foundation, according to Juventas' website. They have been featured on many recording projects, including albums from Albany Records, Innova Recordings, and Navona.
