About Nu Deco Ensemble
As a flexible and innovative 21st-century orchestra, Nu Deco Ensemble’s artistic vision focuses on performing works by living composers, creating cutting-edge collaborations with special guests, re-arranging works by innovative artists, and engaging and activating the entire community through dynamic outreach and educational programming. Through this unique instrumentation, diversity of musician backgrounds, and the broad range of genres performed, Nu Deco Ensemble is reimagining a fresh vision of what an orchestra can achieve in the 21st century.
About Our Musicians: The Heart of Nu Deco
This year, Nu Deco's Give Miami Day campaign will empower those at the heart of what we do: our musicians. With the cost of living in South Florida increasing at an alarming rate, Nu Deco aims to support artists and creatives so they can continue to bring their high-quality artistic value to Miami. Miami is the second most rent-burdened city in the U.S., and the pandemic migration wave has only driven housing costs up more.
Against this backdrop, in 2023-24, Nu Deco Ensemble will help sustain the livelihoods of 70+ musicians and 30+ production team members, as well as a host of touring guest artists who offer high-quality artistic and educational programming that builds community and enriches Miami’s cultural landscape.
Nu Deco Musicians & Teaching Artists come from a variety of backgrounds & experiences, including:
- Public school and higher education teachers
- Musicians with performing organizations (e.g. Palm Beach Symphony, Naples Philharmonic, Miami City Ballet)
- Musicians with local and touring bands (e.g. Anemoia, Electric Kif)
This robust roster of world-class musicians has been instrumental in cultivating Nu Deco’s unique sound.
