NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

Ensemble du Monde (Ensemble of the World) is a New York-based chamber orchestra named for its representation of international musicians, currently representing over 13 countries.

The orchestra performs throughout the New York area, the United States and abroad. Led by Music Director and Conductor Marlon Daniel, the ensemble performs music from the Baroque era to the avant-garde in addition to the standard classical repertoire. It frequently plays overlooked masterpieces and world premieres. Programs are usually thematic in nature and based on the concept of presenting a variety great music, not limited by cultural, musical or stylistic boundaries. To encompass this vast repertoire the orchestra expands and contracts, which allows the group maximum "flexibility" to perform as a small chamber group or a full-scale symphony orchestra.
