Founded in 1989 by pianist and conductor Lorraine Vaillancourt, the NEM is a 15-piece chamber orchestra. It delivers a convincing interpretation of today's musics by granting it the time and attention it deserves.

Micheal Oesterle, Serge Provost and Gilles Tremblay represent three generations of Quebec composers.
