Founded in 2011 by Canadian clarinetist Pascal Archer, Exponential Ensemble is a mixed chamber music collective that comprises New York City’s top-notch performers and teaching artists. Each season the ensemble presents compelling programs that include both classic masterworks and contemporary masterpieces to a variety of audiences. Exponential Ensemble’s mission includes commissioning and premiering works by living composers that are inspired by math, science and literacy. Since 2013 they have commissioned more than 50 new works by composers such as Amy Brandon, Robert Paterson, and Gilad Cohen. They collaborate regularly with the Fordham Composers Program at Lincoln Center’s Fordham University. They have also participated in new music residencies with the Composers Collective and the Mostly Modern Festival, during which they premiered a variety of works by emerging composers from across the USA. Additionally, Exponential Ensemble curates interactive educational programs that use music as a way to connect with school curricula. These programs have been delivered to organizations such as Music for Autism, the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and in New York City public schools. Past commissions have been made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts, the Composers Guild of New Jersey, the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning program, and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
