The Pacific Mozart Ensemble is a unique musical resource. Since its founding twenty years ago, PME has grown to fill an important role in the cultural life of the Bay Area, presenting courageous and innovative programs of many works that have never been performed in concert settings. PME provides the opportunity for composers to collaborate with a professional chorus in performances of new or experimental work. In addition, PME stages live performances of works previously heard only on recordings.

The Pacific Mozart Ensemble's goal is to bring new and innovative music or interpretations to our local audiences. Their performances of works by composers such as John Adams, David Lang, Meredith Monk and Dave Brubeck are often the first-ever performance of the music by an ensemble outside of the full-stage production setting. PME has often been the chorus for the Berkeley Symphony during the past ten years, making it possible for Conductor Kent Nagano to program important symphonic/choral works that otherwise might have gone unheard in the Bay Area.

And yes, they perform Mozart! And Brahms, Vivaldi and Poulenc, too. They are as committed to the classics as we are to unearthing the new hallmark sounds of the twenty-first century. A key ingredient in the musical offering is a cappella Jazz & Pop program. Each year they devote an entire concert to Jazz & Pop, featuring many arrangements created by their own members.
