History
The Young Liberated Musicians Ensemble (YLME) was established in an effort to provide beginning band students with an outlet for open exploration of their instruments and founded to foster the love of collective free improvisation and sound. Created in 2013, the group was initially formed based on recommendation by band directors in the Scott County Schools District. You can check out recordings from the early rehearsal sessions below; please keep in mind that these students had only been playing their instruments for a few months at the time.
Reincarnated in February of 2016 as the Young Creative Musicians Ensemble (Young Creative ME), the group is now a quartet comprised of students ages 13, 14, and 15 years of age.
