Radio Blazers Ensemble is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2015 by a group of talented musicians who shared a passion for classical music. The ensemble is based in New York City and is known for its innovative and dynamic performances that blend classical music with contemporary styles. The founding members of Radio Blazers Ensemble are violinist Sarah Johnson, cellist David Lee, and pianist Emily Chen. All three musicians had extensive experience performing in various classical music ensembles before coming together to form Radio Blazers Ensemble. They were joined by violist Michael Brown and clarinetist Rachel Kim, who completed the ensemble's lineup. From the beginning, Radio Blazers Ensemble set out to create a unique sound that would appeal to a wide range of audiences. They drew inspiration from a variety of musical genres, including jazz, rock, and pop, and incorporated these influences into their classical repertoire. The result was a fresh and exciting sound that quickly gained a following. One of the ensemble's early highlights was their performance at the 2016 Chamber Music America Conference in New York City. They were selected to perform as part of the conference's showcase of up-and-coming classical music ensembles, and their performance was met with rave reviews. Critics praised their innovative approach to classical music and their ability to connect with audiences. Since then, Radio Blazers Ensemble has gone on to perform at some of the most prestigious venues in the United States, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center. They have also performed at numerous music festivals, including the Aspen Music Festival and the Tanglewood Music Festival. One of the ensemble's most memorable performances was their 2018 concert at Carnegie Hall, where they performed a program of works by Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven, as well as contemporary pieces by living composers. The concert was a critical and commercial success, and cemented Radio Blazers Ensemble's reputation as one of the most exciting classical music ensembles of their generation. In addition to their live performances, Radio Blazers Ensemble has also released several recordings. Their debut album, "Blazing Trails," was released in 2017 and featured works by Mozart, Brahms, and Schumann, as well as contemporary pieces by living composers. The album received widespread critical acclaim and was named one of the best classical music albums of the year by several publications. Radio Blazers Ensemble has also been the recipient of numerous awards and honors. In 2017, they were awarded the Chamber Music America Residency Partnership Grant, which allowed them to develop new works and collaborate with other artists. They were also named the 2018-2019 Ensemble-in-Residence at the Tanglewood Music Festival, one of the most prestigious classical music festivals in the world. Despite their success, Radio Blazers Ensemble remains committed to their mission of bringing classical music to new audiences. They regularly perform in schools and community centers, and have developed educational programs that introduce young people to classical music. They also collaborate with other artists and musicians from a variety of genres, in order to create new and exciting works that push the boundaries of classical music.
