The Living Music Youth Consort
The Living Music Youth Consort
Provide students with valuable performance and educational opportunities in a close-knit ensemble.
Cultivate a down-to-earth, living practice of classical music that upholds and reinvigorates our traditions while also charting a new path.
Directed by ILA Director Aidan Mays, The Living Music Youth Consort is a string ensemble where students learn and practice the historical traditions of music as a living art, taking Historically Informed Performance Practice (HIPP) not as just a style of playing, but as part of a stance from which all of our music can be approached. In accordance with this vision, we perform music from the Renaissance all the way through to the current day, aiming to develop virtuosity at our instruments, thoughtful and historically informed approaches to interpretation, and most importantly, fluency in the language of music.
Living Music Youth Consort - Our premiere ensemble, made up of a small number of highly capable students.
LMYC Preparatory Ensemble - Designed for students with the drive and enthusiasm we value, but who aren’t quite ready for the big leagues. The Preparatory Ensemble has the same dynamic, living approach as our premiere ensemble, but focuses on building the foundational skills you’ll need to take your playing and musicianship to the next level.
