Info for Throughlines: New Chamber & Solo Works

On THROUGHLINES, the Juventas New Music Ensemble leans into its penchant for emerging voices with a compelling and adventurous survey of contemporary classical chamber music. This Navona Records album traces expressive pathways through works that balance lyricism and drive, wit and reflection, intimacy and bold theatricality. Navigating music inspired by the work of a historic political figure and a notable Victorian-era poet, parallels drawn from bustling city life, and more, Juventas illuminates the throughlines that connect diverse compositional voices across today’s evolving musical landscape.

Juventas New Music Ensemble
Oliver Caplan, artistic director

Juventas New Music Ensemble
is a dynamic contemporary chamber group with a special focus on emerging voices. We reimagine classical music as a vibrant living art form, uplifting rising voices and bringing audiences music from a diverse array of composers that live in today’s world and respond to our time.

Juventas has earned a reputation as a curator, with a keen eye for new talent. Since our founding in 2005, we have performed the music of over 300 living composers. Our musicians champion these artists with exceptional professional performances that open doors.

From climate change to mental health, our programs speak to the most critical topics of the 21st century. Our concerts center on the human experience, featuring deeply personal music that fosters conversation and reflection.

Our work has been recognized with multiple American Prize wins and support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Massachusetts Cultural Council, New Music USA and Boston Foundation. Juventas has been featured on over a dozen recording projects, including albums from Albany Records, Navona, New Dynamic and RMN Classical.

This album contains no booklet.
