Wordless Music Orchestra is the house band of New York's Wordless Music series, which was founded by non-musician Ronen Givony in 2006, and has since presented concerts around the world, pairing artists from the sound worlds of classical and contemporary music. Comprising New York's most omnivorous young musicians, and members of groups such as Alarm Will Sound, ACME, and Ensemble Signal, the orchestra presented its first concerts over two sold-out nights in 2008 under conductor Brad Lubman, with the U.S. premiere of Jonny Greenwood's Popcorn Superhet Receiver, on a program with music of Gavin Bryars and John Adams.
