Face The Music
Made up of twenty students, ages 10 to 15, Face the Music was founded in the fall of 2005 by Special Music School Music Director Jenny Undercofler and composer Huang Ruo.
In January of 2008, the group helped to re-open Merkin Hall with the premiere of Ira Mowitz's Kol Aharon for violin, digital soundtrack and ensemble. Face the Music has also performed works by John Adams, Louis Andriessen, Caleb Burhans and others.
Face the Music has performed at popular New York venues, such as Roulette, as well as participated in the Wordless Music Series and Make Music New York.
