Founded in New York City in 2008, yMusic
believes in presenting excellent, emotionally communicative music, regardless
of style or idiom. Their virtuosic execution and unique configuration (string
trio, flute, clarinet, and trumpet) have attracted the attention of high-profile
collaborators—including Paul Simon, Bill T. Jones, and Ben Folds—and inspired
original works by some of today’s foremost composers, including Nico Muhly,
Missy Mazzoli, and Andrew Norman. Performing works by Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux,
Caroline Shaw, Bryce Dessner, Gabriella Smith, and Andrew Norman.
