Great Noise Ensemble is a Washington, D.C.-based contemporary music group dedicated to performing new works and promoting emerging talent in the field. Founded in 2005 after composer and conductor Armando Bayolo posted on Craigslist, it began with seven local musicians and has grown to a core membership comprising twenty instrumentalists and two singers. 

Since its first concert in January 2006, the ensemble has performed at venues ranging from the Patricia M. Sitar Center to the National Gallery of Art and the Hirshhorn Museum. It received the Washington Area Music Association's 2007 WAMMIE Award for Best Chamber Ensemble. In the 2008-2009 season it served as Ensemble in Residence at the Catholic University of America's Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, presenting four concerts and collaborating with composition students, and it also debuted at the Kennedy Center in cooperation with The Congressional Chorus, premiering Daniel Felsenfeld's Revolutions of Ruin.
