Eclecticism is a key element of MAEs performances: mixing classical and contemporary works, jazz and rock compositions, ethnic music and original works by Ensemble members. They are well known for their interpretations of rock composer Frank Zappas work (who personally coached them on how to play his music) as well as commissioning, collaborating or premiering works by Milton Babbitt, The Common Sense Composers Collective, Stephen Barber, Ira Taxin, Kirk Nurock, John Halle, among several others.
