section Summary
 
 
This analysis of the new music group EnsembleGREEN comes as the result of an in-home interview with director Paul Sherman, e-mail correspondence with other group members, and from a year of becoming familiar with the ensemble’s operations. In March of this year I had the opportunity to hear a concert by EnsembleGREEN, and to perform with them on the piece “In C” by Terry Riley. I also had the opportunity to take a year of lessons with Professor Kira Blumberg, who plays viola with the ensemble. Throughout this year of lessons I learned, through anecdotes, about the various business and musical aspects of EnsembleGREEN. I have also listened to recordings of past concerts.
