ECCE is partnering with 10 composers from the Northwestern U.S. to present a concert of new music at the Bamboo Grove Salon.
Welcome to our Kickstarter campaign! Join ECCE in our effort to bring 10 world premieres by local Northwestern composers to Portland, Oregon!
The Eugene Contemporary Chamber Ensemble (ECCE) is partnering with ten composers from the Northwestern United States to present a concert at the Bamboo Grove Salon in Portland, Oregon, and we would like YOU to join us in our journey as we produce this event!
Founded in 2005, ECCE is a chamber ensemble dedicated to the creation, promotion, and performance of innovative contemporary classical music by today's composers. The composers and performers of this project are all young musicians who are just launching their careers, and we are working hard to bring our music to Portland.
We believe in the importance of presenting music written by local, northwestern composers. Many "contemporary" concerts feature music from the last century (Cage, Feldman, or Webern as examples), but neglect the music being written now by their local voices. We believe that there is a lot of exciting music being written here in the Northwest that audiences should have the opportunity to hear.
About the concert
Our concert will feature the works of ten composers working in Portland, Seattle, Eugene, and Bellingham. We will be presenting a multimedia event that will feature live performances, interviews with the composers, and opportunities for the audience to interact with the composers and performers.
The intimate setting of the Bamboo Grove Salon is an excellent location to facilitate discussion and interaction in a comfortable and inviting environment. Located in the Southeast waterfront area, Bamboo Grove is a renovated warehouse space that hosts art exhibitions, film screenings, and concerts. In addition to the large performance space shown below, the space also features a tea house where guests will be able to purchase tea, beer, and other drinks during the concert.
