Juventas New Music Ensemble

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.

Juventas has earned a reputation as a curator, with a keen eye for new talent. 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 that open doors.

Why Submit?

  • Record with a Premiere Ensemble: Your composition will be brought to life by Juventas New Music Ensemble’s talented artists, recognized for their fresh approach and passion for contemporary music. “Juventas has performed the music of more than 300 living composers from six continents. This commitment to classical music in the present tense makes it the only professional ensemble of its kind devoted specifically to the music of emerging composers.” – The Arts Fuse

  • Work with a GRAMMY®-winning team: The PARMA Recordings team will oversee the entire project, from production through promotion, on our GRAMMY®-winning label Navona Records, ensuring the quality and reach of the resulting recordings.

  • Live Performance: Gain additional recognition with inclusion in a Juventas concert event, targeted for spring 2026.

  • Exclusive Promotion: In addition to the live performance, each composer will be featured in Juventas’ season marketing materials. They will also be highlighted in the printed concert program, which includes bios and program notes. Juventas will also run a composer feature on their website and social media platforms.

What We’re Looking For

We encourage submissions that highlight the expressive potential of this versatile ensemble. Juventas is equally open to works that push boundaries, bringing a fresh perspective; and works that draw on tonal, melodic or romantic traditions. Whether lyrical, bold, introspective, or dynamic, we welcome a variety of styles and approaches.

Please Note Before Submitting

This opportunity requires funding to be secured by or on behalf of the composer to cover production and post-production expenses. Submitting a score indicates interest but does not commit the composer or PARMA to any contractual obligations. Once a score is submitted, our A&R team will review and reach out to discuss possibilities and costs for recording and release. If all parties approve, an official proposal will be provided, which the composer is free to accept or decline.

Composers will retain full ownership of their underlying music and any resulting masters and will maintain full artistic control of the project. PARMA’s team is available to help with planning and preparing outward-facing documentation to assist toward the generation of project funding for approved pieces.
