Face the Music is the only teen ensemble in the United States dedicated to the creation and performance of music by living composers. In residence at the Kaufman Music Center, Face the Music (FTM) has established itself as a full-fledged player in New York City's vibrant contemporary classical scene, rapidly becoming what The New York Times' Allan Kozinn has called a "force in the New York new-music world." Read an interview with several FTM members from 2012 in I Care If You Listen.
