About
VICTOIRE is a new chamber-rock ensemble founded by composer/pianist Missy Mazzoli. This group, a stirring blend of winds, strings, keyboards and lo-fi electronics, was recently dubbed "an all-star, all-female quintet" by Time Out New York, and was described by Pitchfork as "so good… a pleasingly accessible entrée into the world of pseudo-classical music." Victoire performs Mazzoli's distinct blend of dreamy post rock, quirky minimalism and rich romanticism. Since forming in 2008 they have shared the stage with Tortoise, Twi the Humble Feather, Redhooker, Bing and Ruth, performing at many of New York's top new music venues including The Bang on a Can Marathon, Galapagos, the Tank, The Stone and the Whitney Museum. In spring of 2009 they became the first classical artist to be featured on "eMusic.com Selects". Their debut EP, A Door into the Dark, was released on eMusic.com in March 2009, and was named one of the ten best classical albums of the year by Time Out New York. Victoire will release a full-length album with New Amsterdam Records in 2010.
Missy Mazzoli was recently deemed "one of the more consistently inventive, surprising composers now working in New York" by the New York Times, and "Brooklyn's post-millenial Mozart" by Time Out New York. Her music has been performed all over the world by the Kronos Quartet, eighth blackbird, the Minnesota Orchestra, the South Carolina Philharmonic, NOW Ensemble and many others. Upcoming projects include a performance by the American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and performances of her chamber opera, Song from the Uproar, at Bard College and on the New York City Opera's VOX series.
American Composers Orchestra’s Composers OutFront! series put composers on the stage who will have major works performed by the orchestra during the concert season. In keeping with ACO’s eclectic musical programming, featured composers come from diverse backgrounds in jazz, rock and pop, classical, and world music. Composers OutFront! events take place throughout the city in unusual spaces including community centers, museums and galleries, libraries, and other non-traditional venues for classical music.
Victoire is Olivia De Prato-violin, Eileen Mack-clarinet, Lorna Krier and Missy Mazzoli- keyboards and electronics, and Eleonore Oppenheim-bass.
