one of the foremost contemporary performing ensembles in the United States today and is unique in the range of its activities. We have three main facets: 1) We produce and tour our own works of collaboratively-created opera and experimental music theater; 2) we perform as the Electro-Acoustic Band with a repertory of commissioned works from a diverse range of contemporary composers on an instrumentation which combines traditional acoustic and contemporary electronic instruments; and 3) we collaborate and perform live with a wide variety of media artists, and dance and theater companies from around the United States.
