New Amsterdam Records is a New York City based record label. It was formed in 2008 by Judd Greenstein, Sarah Kirkland Snider, and William Brittelle to promote classically trained musicians who fall in between traditional genre boundaries. Often abbreviated as NewAm, the organization has been hailed as a central force in creating the "indie classical" scene. Since its inception, New Amsterdam Records has released 17 records and 3 co-distributed albums (by massey and So Percussion).
