yMusic is a sextet chamber ensemble from New York City. Consisting of a trumpet, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, and cello, the group was formed in Brooklyn in 2008 by trumpeter C.J. Camerieri and violinist Rob Moose.[1] The ensemble has released three studio albums of original compositions written for the group, and has toured extensively with artists such as José González,[2] Bon Iver[3] and Paul Simon.[4] In 2015 yMusic collaborated with Ben Folds on his album So There,[5] and toured with him in support. yMusic made their Carnegie Hall debut in 2016, premiering a piece by Caroline Shaw and one by Chris Thile.[6] The ensemble performs with The Staves on that group's 2017 release The Way Is Read.
