ABOUT
Terminus Ensemble of Contemporary Music was founded in 2011 to promote new classical music by composers based in Atlanta, Georgia. As the end of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, Terminus was the original name of Atlanta; however, “terminus” does not only mean "the end", but also "boundary." In this spirit, our ensemble seeks to explore the boundaries of contemporary art music while showcasing music made primarily by natives and residents of Atlanta. Terminus has commissioned several short compositions and performed dozens of works by local composers in our more than ten years on the Atlanta new music scene.
