Founded in New York City in 1966 by pianists Cheryl Seltzer and Joel Sachs, Continuum is a chamber music ensemble that focuses on performing and recording classical music by composers from the 20th and 21st centuries.
Continuum often performs "retrospective concerts," which focus on a range of works by a single composer.
"Exploring a broad range of their work, such concerts offer the listener deep insights into a composer's development.
"[3] Continuum has performed around the world, including in such countries as Azerbaijan, Brazil, Georgia, Korea, Mongolia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Venezuela.
With a rich history of recordings, Continuum has made more than 20 CDs for the Advance, Capstone, CRI, Cambria, MusicMasters, Naxos, Nonesuch, and TNC labels, recording works by Virko Baley, Henry Cowell, Ives, Kirchner, Nancarrow, Seeger, and Wolpe, among others.
