North South Recordings: Welcome

Welcome to North/South Recordings!

Welcome to North/South Consonance's thirtieth consecutive season.

In a culture overwhelmed by mere entertainment, North/South concerts celebrate the remarkable spectrum of artistic voices among us while upholding an all-too-rare commitment to artistic discovery and innovation. Our free-admission concerts performed by first-rate artists focus on emerging and established composers whose works, often new to New York, always stimulate, challenge and excite.

North/South's ever-expanding compact disc catalogue features expert performances of significant compositions, some written especially for the North/South Consonance Ensemble. These albums bring the music of composers we champion to an international audience and the convenience of your home.

You, the listener, are an integral part of our dynamism. I encourage you to share North/South Consonance concert experiences with your family and friends.

And please, join our efforts to bring contemporary music from throughout the Americas and the world to the attention of New York City audiences. Your tax-deductible contribution will enable us to advance vigorously into the next 30 years of musical innovation.

I hope to greet you in person at one of our upcoming concerts.

—Max Lifchitz, Founder & Director
