Nu Deco Ensemble Launches New Podcast 'Unfiltered'

Miami's 21st-century genre-bending chamber orchestra, Nu Deco Ensemble, presents unfiltered conversations with dynamic and award-winning musical artists, trailblazing composers, and forward-thinking industry leaders and CEO's. Hosted by Co-Founder and Artistic Director, Jacomo Bairos, these conversations dive deep into the lives and works of these exceptional artists and leaders, peeling back the mysterious curtain of creativity and inspiration, while exploring life wisdom gleaned from their stories and prolific careers.

Composer, producer, and CEO of Nu Deco, Sam Hyken (also Co-Founder and Artistic Director) writes, arranges, and creates the majority of music for the ensemble and guest artists. Jacomo conducts the ensemble, and together they both curate and program, in liaison with composers and guest artists, content for performances, media distribution, and educational offerings.

Described as "world-class" and "thrilling" in the press, Jacomo conducts around the world with institutions such as the Boston Pops, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Singapore Symphony. He regularly collaborates with Grammy-award-winning musical artists such as Wyclef Jean, PJ Morton, and Jacob Collier, as well as hosts both Nu Deco's performances and education concerts, reaching audiences across the globe and thousands of students throughout Miami and the nation. Jacomo also teaches and leads mediation as well as mindfulness and wellness courses for Nu Deco NXT, Nu Deco's youth ensemble based in Miami.

Nu Deco Ensemble's live stream season continues on April 10th with an exciting program featuring bass virtuoso Richard Bona, the music of composer Valerie Coleman, Anemoia, and a world-premiere orchestral reimagination of the music of Earth, Wind, and Fire by Nu Deco's Sam Hyken.

Nu Deco Ensemble will host their next livestream performance on April 10 via their custom platform, which allows for increased audience interactivity through audience polling that chooses select pieces, digital program notes and other interactive features.

The performance will be streamed live, to a crowdless venue. Nu Deco is committed to following all CDC and local government recommendations, including physical distancing, masks mandated for all artists able to play with a mask, health and temperature screening, sanitization and disinfectant of all touch services, hand sanitizer available around the venue and a testing plan leading up to the production week.
