What sets ensemble vim apart from other new music ensembles is our love for taking the traditional concert experience and flipping it on its head, performing in unconventional venues and collaborating with artists of other disciplines in performance.
2022-2023 season
In the 2022-23 season, ensemble vim partnered with danceATL through their A.M. Collaborative program to create a special video project combining live music and dance.
2021-2022 season
In the summer of 2022, we collaborated with the Museum of Design Atlanta to bring to life a program in conjunction with their exhibition, “Full Circle: Design Without End,” highlighting the work designers are doing to restore ecosystems and fight climate change
new renaissance artist, the honourable elizabeth a. baker
In 2021, we co-commissioned New Renaissance Artist, The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker to write a modular chamber work for ensemble vim and ensembleNEWsrq, called '“VOID.” VOID is an evening-length work that combines the power of visual projection, electronic processing, and acoustic performance in an immersive experience for all involved. In 2022, two world premiere performances of VOID were given by ensembleNEWsrq and ensemble vim in Sarasota, FL and Birmingham, AL.

In December 2021, we collaborated with Atlanta poet and spoken word artist, Ashlee Haze, to bring a special program combining live music and Ashlee’s original poetry as part of the Alliance Theater’s Club Hertz Live series.
2020-2021 season
In 2020, ensemble vim collaborated with Atlanta sculptor, Hanna Allen, to create a “virtual field trip” combining a recorded program of music by Kevin Day, Jonathan Bailey Holland, Alvin Singleton, and Sakari Dixon Vanderveer with the creation of a visual art piece. This project was one of ensemble vim’s digital offerings during the quarantine; a way to connect with our audience and provide access to new music and art during the pandemic.
