Founded in 2010, Ensemble NOMOS has presented audiovisual performances throughout Europe and the Americas. In their Americas Society debut, the ensemble will present a concert as part of the "Puentes" series, an initiative launched by Mexican composer Marcela Rodríguez. The "Puentes" series strives to bring together compositional styles and concepts from European and American composers and tries to bridge the gap between these two musical worlds.

The Winter/Spring 2013 Music program is supported, in part, by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Additional support is provided by the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, and Clarion Society. In-kind support is graciously provided by the Mexican Cultural Institute of New York.

The commissions and concert by ICE (Spring 2013) are supported by Argosy Foundation Contemporary Music Fund and the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust.
