Founded in 1989 by pianist and conductor Lorraine Vaillancourt, the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM) is a chamber orchestra of 15 musicians. It delivers a convincing interpretation of today’s music by granting it the time and attention it deserves. Reflecting a variety of aesthetics, its repertoire is open to music from all continents and dedicates a large amount of time to premieres. Its concerts, public rehearsals and meetings with the composers are all privileged moments for exchange and reflection. Ensemble in residence at the Faculté de musique de l’Université de Montréal, the NEM has performed concerts in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Japan, Australia and Singapore, as well as in seven European countries (Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands). More than 125 works have been composed for the ensemble, including Jonathan Harvey’s Sringara Chaconne, Tristan Murail’s En moyenne et extrême raison and Denys Bouliane’s Rythmes et échos des rivages anticostiens. The NEM’s discography comprises 25 CDs released on the labels ProNEM, ATMA and UMMUS (Montreal), Doberman-Yppan (Quebec City), New World Records, Composers Recording Inc (New York), Auvidis Montaigne (Paris), and ABC Classics (Australia). These albums have been produced in collaboration with the Faculté de musique de l’Université de Montréal, Ircam, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, the Musica 93 Festival, the Société Radio-Canada, Radio France and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. A member of the Conseil québécois de la musique (CQM), in residence at the Faculté de musique de l’Université de Montréal, the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne receives grants from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts de Montréal. Pianist and conductor Lorraine Vaillancourt is a full professor at the Université de Montréal’s faculty of music. She has taught at the institution since 1971, and has led its contemporary music workshop since 1974.
