LE TRAIN BLEU is a new musical collective formed by conductor and flutist Ransom Wilson.  The musicians are among the most exciting young players in New York, and are chosen for their brilliance as well as their expressive qualities.  Recently named a resident ensemble of the Galapagos Art Space, the group continues plans to present performances of new and interesting music.  The New York Times said of their recent debut performance:  “Under Mr. Wilson’s baton, the Train Bleu ensemble was both incisive and joyous in execution.”  In the 2011-12 season, the ensemble will have a 4-concert series at the Galapagos Art Space, as well as collaborating with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in a 2-week season at the Baryzhnikov Arts Center.  Beginning in September 2011, LE TRAIN BLEU began a 15-month creative residency at the Park Avenue Armory, along with star soprano Lauren Flanigan. Ransom is the Artistic Director of LE TRAIN BLEU
