Telos Consort is a group of creatives reimagining the concert experience through the performance of works by living composers. We seek to create an environment for the avid concertgoer and novice new music listener alike, acknowledging the often-exclusionary world of classical music. We program music by some of the most influential voices and voices-to-be of our time and encourage genre inclusivity and the presence of the untraditional.

The Telos Consort is a modular ensemble of two saxophones, two strings, and piano. Formed in 2023 with the goal of uniting old and new instruments, this group of creatives is dedicated to the creation of new work for their unique instrumentation. We create an environment for the avid concert-goer and novice new music listener alike, acknowledging the often-exclusionary world of classical music. By programming music by some of the most influential voices and voices-to-be of our time, we encourage genre inclusivity and the presence of the non-traditional. Recent performances include shows at the 92nd Street Y, A4 Collective, and Shapeshifter Lab. The Telos Consort is a Chamber Music America Ensemble Forward grant awardee and will be working with coach Ken Thomson (Bang On A Can All-Stars) throughout 2024. 

Telos is Thomas Giles, Kyle Landry, Charlotte Munn-Wood, Thea Mesirow, Huizi Zhang, and Cole Reyes.
