PARMA is pleased to present a new recording opportunity with the acclaimed Juventas New Music Ensemble, culminating in a concert on the ensemble’s main season schedule.
This collaboration invites composers to have their works performed by a chamber ensemble of exceptional standing and capability, leading to a professional recording and live performance as part of Juventas’ 2025–2026 concert season.
“This project brings Juventas’s 11-year partnership with PARMA to new heights. We are deploying our world class musicians with PARMA’s GRAMMY®-winning production team on a full-length album that will spotlight some of today’s brightest voices.”
– Oliver Caplan, Juventas New Music Ensemble Artist Director
Juventas New Music Ensemble is a dynamic contemporary chamber group with a special focus on emerging voices.
The ensemble reimagines 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.
Since its founding in 2005, the ensemble has performed the music of over 300 living composers. Juventas musicians champion these artists with exceptional professional performances — some of which can be heard on commercial album releases from PARMA/Navona Records.
