The New Music Ensemble (NME) is a CIO (charity incorporated organisation) of creators and makers of contemporary new music and performance art, based in London UK. It brings together individuals and groups with different cultural backgrounds, educational histories, skills and experiences, with the aim to design relevant contributions to an artistic contemporaneity and the world at large, with conceptual considerations including a strong social and political awareness. It was first created in 2014 as a student led ensemble at Goldsmiths, University of London, by former music student Rodrigo B. Camacho, for the need of opportunities for student composers and performers to collaborate and perform their work; developing a space for the discussion, development and presentation of this.In the academic year of 2015 the group consolidated and gained shape within and outside the university, through the various efforts of its initial collaborators and supporters wishing to take it forward. Currently the committee members constitute: Rodrigo B. Camacho (Project Director), Sara Rodrigues (Artistic Director), Roxanna Albayati (Manager), Mahsa Salali (Concert and Publicity Manager) and Gabriele Cavallo (Editorial Director). The production team includes Marat Ingledeev (web developer and designer), Jaime Gil Larios (Graphics and Filming Director), Ezra-Lloyd Jackson (Photographer), Nicole Trotman (Stage Assistant) and Lewis Wolstanholme (Copywriter).
