METROPOLIS ENSEMBLE

“Andrew Cyr and his virtuosic Metropolis Ensemble are the future of what we know as classical music. Their approach is fresh, and so is their music making. New ideas on presenting older music are combined with definitive performances of music by today’s younger composers.”
– John Corigliano, Pulitzer Prize Winning Composer

“Metropolis Ensemble is a great addition to the U.S. music scene.”
– Esa-Pekka Salonen, Conductor Laureate, LA Philharmonic; Principal Conductor, London Philharmonia
