Mazzoli - Ecstatic Science

YMusic's "fluidly engaging" fourth album, Ecstatic Science, is now available here. The album features works from Missy Mazzoli, "one of the more consistently inventive, surprising composers now working in New York" (The New York Times), Pulitzer Prize-winning Caroline Shaw, Gabriella Smith and Paul Wiancko. yMusic, "six contemporary classical polymaths who playfully overstep the boundaries of musical genres," (The New Yorker) performs in concert halls, arenas and clubs around the world. Founded in New York City in 2008, yMusic believes in presenting excellent, emotionally communicative music, regardless of style or idiom. "One of the groups that has really helped to shape the future of classical music," (Fred Child, NPR's Performance Today) their virtuosic execution and unique configuration (string trio, flute, clarinet, and trumpet) has attracted the attention of high profile collaborators-from Paul Simon to Bill T. Jones to Ben Folds-and inspired original works by some of today's foremost composers, including Nico Muhly, Missy Mazzoli and Andrew Norman.
