As the summer comes to a close, we're celebrating the start of our 22nd season with exciting world premiere performances and national and international residencies!
“Diverse perspectives promise unlimited possibilities: this is the core idea behind our new season. ICE will present a humanistic model of the ‘yet unheard’ that is collaborative, creolized, and connected, even extending to the ever-expanding world of artificial intelligence. With works by composers from all over the world, this season is more intercultural, intermedial and interdisciplinary than ever. Audiences will discover that our new season enthusiastically affirms the ideal of our Polyaspora.” — George Lewis, Artistic Director of the International Contemporary Ensemble
