What happens when two dynamic musicians join forces to follow their hearts? Mariam Adam, clarinetist and founding member of the Grammy-nominated Imani Winds, and the pianist Evelyn Ulex have been collaborating in their chamber music duo, TransAtlantic Ensemble for most of the past decade. Dedicated to directing the course of classical music's evolution, the TransAtlantic Ensemble focuses on music by living American composers, and revels in incorporating Latin rhythms and jazz inflections into their repertoire.
TransAtlantic Ensemble brings their unique programming to Steinway Hall in New York City in a free performance on Monday, January 14, 2013, at 7 pm (doors open at 6:30). Steinway Hall is located at 109 West 57th Street in Manhattan. The concert is free and reservations are required.

The Ensemble’s dedication to collaborations with living composers is evident in Crossing America with performances of works by Jeff Scott, Paquito D'Rivera, Miguel del Aguila, and Valerie Coleman.
