From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
S.E.M. Ensemble is a leading American group dedicated to the performance of contemporary music. It was founded in 1970 by the Czech composer Petr Kotik, who serves as its director.
The ensemble has performed numerous new works by a wide range of composers, which include Muhal Richard Abrams, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Pauline Oliveros, Henry Threadgill and La Monte Young, as well as works by Kotik himself.
In 1992, Kotik established The Orchestra of the S.E.M. Ensemble, which performs new compositions for full orchestra.
