Inspired by Shakespeare’s famous quote “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” Artists By Any Other Name defies definition. We are a interdisciplinary ensemble that endeavors to realize a contemporary function for classical music by encouraging its symbiosis with contemporary dance. Through live performance in a variety of spaces, we communicate relevant themes to illustrate the worlds around and within us. We connect with an inter-generational audience by crafting unique programs that range from children's concerts, impressionist to avant-garde performances.
The artists are members of the Metropolitan Opera Ballet, Connecticut Ballet, New Chamber Ballet, Metro Chamber Orchestra, among other ensembles. Artists By Any Other Name has received generous funding from the Adelaide City Council, Queens Council on the Arts - Queens Arts Fund, Clifford-Levy Grant (Diller Quaile School of Music).
