International Contemporary Ensemble Tickets

The International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) is a dynamic, 35‑member collective dedicated to expanding the flavors of contemporary classical music. Since its founding in 2001 by flutist Claire Chase, ICE has become a trusted, adventurous partner for composers and audiences alike, premiering thousands of works and bringing bold, living music to stages around the world.

ICE blends chamber music intimacy with expansive, electro‑acoustic exploration, performing in venues from intimate recital spaces to iconic institutions. The group is celebrated for fearless programming, collaborative partnerships, and a commitment to expanding the repertoire through new commissions and premieres.

Whether on the concert stage, in recording studios, or at festival residencies, ICE acts as a flexible laboratory for sound, form, and imagination. Their work has earned them prestigious awards and a reputation as one of America’s foremost new‑music ensembles.

Upcoming 2025 highlights include TIME:SPANS at the DiMenna Center in August, a MoMA premiere with Either/Or in November, and an international appearance at Wien Modern in Vienna. ICE also supports artist residencies at UC Irvine and UC Riverside in May 2025, alongside Darmstadt 2025. Follow ICE for updates on future recordings and tours.
