Founded and directed by faculty member Joel Sachs, the New Juilliard Ensemble is the School's chief proponent of recent music. A chamber orchestra consisting of 13 to 30 performers, it offers two concerts each semester that feature works of the last 10 years, along with some rarely performed major compositions of the post-World War II period. Most performances are premieres; an increasing number of works are being written for the ensemble by composers around the world, as well as by selected Juilliard student composers. Participation is voluntary; admission by audition.
