ABOUT US:
Founded in 2005, the concept of the Juventas new music ensemble began
as a means to offer society at large an amazing opportunity to get to
know the music by today's generation of young composers.
In attempting to fill this niche, Juventas is taking a fresh approach
to presenting music. For example, we primarily perform pieces by
composers under the age of 35, and we travel to many different venues
in the process. This approach attracts a variety of people to
experience music that otherwise might have only been available to
listeners through an academic setting. Additionally, Juventas does
not play any one specific style of music. As an ensemble, we are
interested in exploring sounds from every possible direction; in fact,
we intend to perform, over time, nearly every submission that we
receive, so long as the instrumentation and difficulty is suitable to
our capabilities.

NEW MUSIC SEARCH ENGINE:
Juventas created a specialized new music search engine (similar
to google.com) using Google co-op. The engine only searches websites
that contain information about living composers and organizations that
demonstrate strong support for new music. The search engine can be
accessed by visiting Juventas website at www.JuventasMusic.com, and
typing in the search box located on the top of the right column.

NEW WEBSITE:
Last month, Juventas launched a new and improved website which
includes exciting features such as a bulletin board, sound bites for
the repertoire page, and a new three-column format with color photos.
