ICEBERG New Music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. ICEBERG's mission is to promote the idea that substance, not surface, is the heart of music creation and perception. The collective's ten member composers hail from different schools of thought and cultivate radically different sounds – from musical theater and indie rock to avant-garde sounds and electronic installations – but their contrasting musical languages belie a shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century.ICEBERG is committed to excellence of craft, “radical inclusiveness” of style, and educational outreach on behalf of the new music community. During their inaugural 2016-17 season, the collective presented two concerts of world premieres in Manhattan, featuring acclaimed ensembles Contemporaneous and loadbang. In 2017-18, ICEBERG's concerts will feature Mivos Quartet and Yarn|Wire. All of the organization's events are followed by a community Q&A, giving audience members the opportunity to engage directly with the composers and performers about the music they just heard.
