New York, NY – The Project Room @ Chelsea Art Museum announces the NY concert debut of the Reflex Ensemble, "Blowing Steam." The concert takes place within a setting of a contemporary Israeli art exhibition, “Such Stuff as Dreams are Made On,” curated by Manon Slome. Rehearsals and workshops with conservatory and university students are open to the public and begin in February. Reflex www.ReflexEnsemble.com is a daring multi-national, thirty-five member ensemble, brainchild of Israeli-born composer and interdisciplinary artist, Keren Rosenbaum, that erases the boundaries between art, technology and live performance, with a unique inner logic and counterpoint between sound and vision. This modern music ensemble, founded in 1998, is dedicated to the vision of the “New Orchestra." The composition process involves the creation of artful collaborations of modern technologies and concepts in music and all visual, performing and theatrical art forms. The ensemble is a vehicle that brings to life Rosenbaum’s vision. Her compositions are passionate and inviting, and challenge the conventions of modern music with their own inner-logic and non-compliance to the traditional rules of harmony and melody. The ensemble often performs in non-conventional venues which creates a striking visual counterpart for the music. "The music is at times kicking and at times caressing, but constantly intriguing - and breathing. Not as a metaphor, but literally" (Boaz Cohen, Yediot Aharonot Daily Newspaper) “Reflex is bold and in your face – it’s like the rock music of contemporary classical music." (Concert attendee) THE
