TransAtlantic Ensemble Redefines Classical Music at (le) Poisson Rouge Feast of Music
Transatlantic Ensemble’s Friday night performance at (le) Poisson Rouge might have created a new dictionary entry for “classical music.” It doesn’t need to be played for white-haired men dragged to the theater by their wives; it can be captivating, artistic, and if done right, reflect the inner emotions of our life.

Transatlantic Ensemble Shines at (le) Poisson Rouge Feast of Music
Last Friday at (le) Poisson Rouge, Transatlantic Ensemble actively expanded the boundaries of classical music. The dynamic duo, comprised of Imani Winds clarinetist Mariam Adam and German pianist Evelyn Ulex, presented an engaging concert that featured an array of music by living composers, most of which can found on their debut album, Crossing America.

“… TransAtlantic Ensemble, championing contemporary composers and so called ‘crossover’ works…”
Clarinettist Mariam Adam and pianist Evelyn Ulex are concert soloists and also director-performers of their own chamber group, TransAtlantic Ensemble, championing contemporary composers and so called ‘crossover’ works. They have just released Havana Moon exploring Latin chamber music from three living composers, Paquito D’Rivera, Miguel del Águila, Juan Pablo Jofre and compositions by the late, great Heitor Villa-Lobos, who died in 1959. Joining them on Havana Moon is Juan Pablo Jofre on bandoneón and violinist Liana Gourdija on selected tracks.

“Thrills and Dynamism from the Transatlantic Ensemble at Steinway Hall”
“…a surprisingly robust turnout for an early weeknight got to witness a thrilling, dynamic performance by the Transatlantic Ensemble: clarinetist Mariam Adam and pianist Evelyn Ulex, joined by a couple of similarly electrifying special guests, Lara St. John on violin and JP Jofre on bandoneon.”
