About Mostly Modern Projects / American Modern Ensemble
Mostly Modern Projects began in 2005 with a small, boutique classical recording label, Lumiere Records. Robert Paterson and Victoria Paterson’s original mission with this label was to make recordings that would have wide market appeal, such as wedding and holiday albums, and use the income revenue generated from this company to help fund recordings released by our new music label, American Modern Recordings (AMR).
Having just moved to New York City, Robert and Victoria were eager to perform music by Robert and other living composers. They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and since Robert’s music wasn’t widely known to New York audiences back in 2005, they started American Modern Ensemble (AME), with the goal of performing the widest possible repertoire by living American composers.
Arts Brookfield supports innovation in music, dance, theater, film, and visual art by pushing boundaries to create unique works of art and cultural experiences presented for free. Thriving for over three decades, the program gathers communities around creativity by animating the public spaces of Brookfield Properties.
Art is all Around You!
You may have noticed that when you entered the Encounters performance space tonight you walked through a large-scale vinyl artwork covering the windows. The work is by Miami-based Afro-Latina visual artist, author and educator, Reyna Noriega. Arts Brookfield commissioned Noriega to design a winter installation on the glass exteriors of Brookfield Place, as well as in the Winter Garden. Click here to learn more.
