Ensemble Intercontemporain live in Paris

Experience Ensemble Intercontemporain live on May 13th

Ensemble Intercontemporain, founded in 1976 by Pierre Boulez, is a leading new music ensemble dedicated to performing 20th and 21st-century compositions. The group’s repertoire spans a wide range of contemporary styles, frequently incorporating electronic music, improvisation, and multimedia elements alongside traditional instrumental performance. They are known for their precision, innovative interpretations, and close collaborations with living composers.

The concert will take place at Philharmonie de Paris, a major concert venue inaugurated in January 2015. Situated in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, the Philharmonie de Paris is part of a larger cultural complex. Its primary concert hall, the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez – named in honour of the Ensemble’s founder – is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and vineyard-style seating arrangement designed by Jean Nouvel. This design aims to create a closer connection between performers and audience members.

The Philharmonie de Paris represents France's commitment to supporting and showcasing both classical and contemporary music on an international stage.
