Fountain Ensemble has rapidly established itself as one of its generation's most accomplished and versatile chamber music groups. Its recent seasons have included a sold-out Carnegie Hall recital debut, critically acclaimed performances at Zankel Hall and West Palm Beach's Kravis Center, and concerts throughout the United States.
The Ensemble has won Artists International's New York Debut Award and also received honors at the Concert Artists Guild and Chesapeake Chamber Music Competitions.
Individually, Fountain's members are among New York City's most active chamber music players. They have performed at some of the country's most distinguished institutions, including the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall's Making Music Series, and the Ravinia Festival; and bring to Fountain a richness of music making experience.
Fountain has frequently premiered new works, including two clarinet quintets by Jonathan Keren commissioned by the group and compositions of Menachem Zur, Michael Berkeley, and Darius Milhaud.
In addition to its own musical pursuits, Fountain Ensemble is the musical nucleus and leadership of the Fountain Chamber Music Society, an innovative group of up to 15 players. FCMS has collaborated extensively with The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall, creating numerous performances for children as well as recordings for two animated short films and an interactive website. The Society's recording of Laurie Altman's chamber work On Course was released in 2008.
