| about Augenmusik is a Buffalo-based ensemble specializing in the performance of works with open forms, unusual or indeterminate instrumentation, and non-standard notational systems. All members of the group are composers in their own right, bringing a particularly diverse and creative energy to this repertoire. The ensemble is organized in a highly democratic manner: all decisions regarding repertoire, instrumentation, and interpretation are made collectively. We make an effort to program works that are either newly-written for the group or which have been neglected by other performing organizations in the United Sates. |
