| New music ensembles in the US:
New York New Music Ensemble (7 musicians, no brass, less than 10 concerts a year)
Philip Glass Ensemble
Steve Reich Ensemble
Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble (don't laugh, they're actually bigger than the NYC one)
Meridian Arts Ensemble (brass quintet + others, Zappa and lots of new music)
American Brass Quintet (puts out a new CD every year, premier and comission a lot)
Le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (canandian but... probably most industrious and serious group I know of on this continent)
So there isn't much, but the colleges and music schools sometimes have decent programs.
