Claire is the Executive Director and co-founder of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), which she formed in 2001 with her colleagues with the vision to create the United States’ first full-time large-scale chamber ensemble dedicated exclusively to contemporary music.
ICE, which has been praised as “brilliant and unexpected” by the New Yorker and “one of the most adventurous and accomplished groups in new music” by the New York Times, has rapidly established itself as one of the leading ensembles of its generation, performing over fifty concerts a year in the US and abroad.
ICE is a uniquely structured, flexible chamber music ensemble comprised of thirty dynamic and versatile young performers who are dedicated to advancing the music of our time. Through innovative programming, inter-disciplinary collaborations, and the creation of genre-defying new presentation and production models, ICE brings together new music and new audiences.
